write a program to count the total number of characters in a series of 10
words that you enter, and compute the average word lenght.

use length(text:string) to get the length of the string. Then add them all up and divide by total number of words.

come on man, learn to read outside the code box.

code:

length(text)


where text is the word. and this function outputs the lenght of it.

so

code:

var text:string := "tony"
var l:int
l := length(text)
put l

This will output 4 since word "tony" is 4 characters long.

Understand now?

or you can do it the realy cheep way with getch

ie.

code:

var num:int:=0
var key:string(1)

loop
        getch(key)
        num += 1
end loop


well you will have to put in some if's to stop it.

i dont know why i posted this becuse tony's way is a lot better, oh well Confused

I think dan is doing some gargabe posts just to make himself look better Wink

lol

though if you're to use getch() then it to exit it should be something like this:

code:

loop
getch(l)
if l="Q" then
exit
else
num:=num+1
end if
end loop


though this way you can't use capital Q in any of your words... Confused
