you can store the names in a file and call it, then use get with your variables.

what if it has to be all done in one turing file, like no side files and etc?

Post subject: 
well, you can simplify it a little by this:
code:

var names: array 1..100 of int :=init("bob", "mjkjk", ...."kdj")

and why does it have to be done in one file?

o the file is similar to this is not the same though lol

so basically there is no other way to shorten this code up?

Post subject: 
well, you have to include all the names somehow, think about it, it is already simple enough.

random name generation! Laughing
code:

function randomName () : string
    const v : string := "aeiouy"
    const c : string := "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz"
    var r1, r2, r3 : int
    r1 := Rand.Int (1, length (c))
    r2 := Rand.Int (1, length (v))
    r3 := Rand.Int (1, length (c))
    result c (r1) + v (r2) + c (r3)
end randomName

for i : 1 .. 10
    put randomName ()
end for

i'm sorry, but that's as close as you can get to real names without the use of any kind of external dictionary... Some names generated are preaty good actually Laughing

Just get one of those name lists, put it into a text file, then load them up into an array using a loop, and randomly choose some names.

apprently, either spacedude sucks or whoever's teaching him sucks

why in god's name would a teacher demand 100 names from a student, without the use of textfiles, and won't accept anything with improv like random name generation?

now, you could do something like whenever you take a name, and put it into an array, take the next array space, and using the same name, catenate "ina" to the end, to make it seem like a girls

code:

for x : 1 .. 100 by 2
      put "input a name"
      get name : *
       namelist (x) := name
      namelist (x+1) := name + "ina"
end for

I'd subtract bits from you, until I realized you have none......

This means quit spamming in help sections, go to general discussion or something.
