Use a sentinel value of "-1" to exit. |

You do not need to create new threads... if input == -1 exit without doing anything else else do everything else that is the pseudocode.... |

Presumably the "do everything else" part will be your existing program. |

so I have it working now, how can i make it only display then length when its above 0 when i enter -1 to end it still shows the length? loop put "Welcome to converter" var cent : int put "Please enter the length in centimetres" get cent put "the length in inches is " .. put cent * 2.54 if cent <= -1 then exit else end if end loop |

I think simply reading that code out loud to yourself will answer that question. |

Put the following right beside you code and you will see what you are doing wrong: ProgrammingFun @ Mon Jan 24, 2011 5:05 pm wrote:

thank you I think i got it!!: put "Welcome to converter" loop var lengt : int put "Please input the length centimetres" get lengt if lengt <= -1 then exit else put "the length in inches is " .. put lengt * 2.54 end if end loop |

One thing your going to need with programming: The order always matters. if its not doing stuff at the right time, you probs just have to move the statement elsewhere. |

Your bang on raknarg. I also find that a lot of beginners tend to over think how to solve their problems. I had that problem but I am getting better at planning my programs, then completing then using pseudo code or flow charts. The more experience you have, the easier the algorithm solving will be. Besides, you won't have that many logic errors to deal with anymore. |
