Another program done, this is the multiplication of binary numbers. Once again there are no shortcuts taken, I had to ouput to a text file and retrieve the data to do it properly. This stuff is so rewarding Once again it is not error trapped. Any input other than binary digits will crash it. Also the maximum number to multiply by is 10110, i can add more, i just stopped at 22.

I just looked at ur code, seems nice, but is definitely reduceable liek the last if, u just have to put
put nice program |

Ya I wasn't looking to reduce, just make it functional. This wasn't an easy thing to do in Turing. Took me a while for both the addition and the multiplication. Most of the other students in the class had the ability to do it in java, but seeing as I never took that class I don't know Java, so I was stuck with Turing. Teachers in previous years didn't teach us any of the stuff about arrays or file outputs, and up until a few days ago, I thought there would be no way for me to do these programs in Turing. Luckily I started looking through the Help files and found both the array function and the file output stuff. Couldn't have done it without that. I am currently in the midst of making a subtraction program for binary, using twos compliment as the backbone, and the addition as usual. |

lol ya, schools.... anyway, I think it is a pretty good program. |

this is cool...but its almost the same as ur other progs...shouldnt u have just posted them in the same thread? |

I didn't finish them all at one time so I've been posting them seperately. Sorry. |

umm, you do realize that the samething can be achieved in less than 20 lines by using strint and intstr right? |

This was not meant to use built in shortcuts, but instead to get a full algorithm to understand the complexity of such a task. It was an assignment, for Grade 12 engineering. We're going to be doing all this crap in assembler next. |

and ur if else structure can be replaced by a simple index and a bit of gr 10 math |

Why so negative towards me? |

what makes you think that? im just saying, for a gr 12, you should be able to program somewhat intelligently, ie make a general case using string manipulation instead of doing it case by case |

That's what I mean. Maybe programming isn't my forte, and maybe this is the reason I am using turing instead of a higher programming language. I came here to get help, I got it, and I made a program that works. I greatly appreciate the help I recieved from both Tony, and Cervantes, among other board members. I am not marketting this program, I am submitting it for marks that I will most certainly obtain. The fact that I cannot "intelligently" program, by your standards, does not interfere with the fact that this program is functional and serves its purpose to a point. Who said I was a full fledged programmer? And who stated that every grade 12 should have the ability to program up to YOUR standards? Nice to have a board representative such as yourself around. |

I have no problem with what he's saying, just how he's saying it. "...a bit of gr 10 math." "...im just saying, for a gr 12, you should be able to program somewhat intelligently..." |

oo well we all should calm down and be happy in this forum everyone should help each other... so... be happy and I dont mean "gay" ***** I know this is off topic here but I just like to point out, 'cause there were some insults happening in this forum, I dont refer to "Andy", there were some posts last few days that were pretty bad... so, lets make this forum more helpful |

if i came off sounding insulting then i appologize, ssr is right, im not here to make fun of people. i was simply suggesting that your program can be done in a more efficient manner |

Thank you for the apology. I totally agree that the program can be snipped to at least half its size by doing a general case where I switch variables around sintead of having a case by case structure. It's the same with my other programs, I just made these programs in about 5 hours each and by the end I just wanted to get it over with. Thanks, right now I'm working on the division, something tells me I'm not going to be able to finish it. Oh well. |

for your program, do you have to everything in base 2? cant you convert it to base 10, do your stuff then convert back? also 5 hrs is a long time... i never spend more than 4 hrs on my compsci projects (except finals) ... even 1000 line ones... also, u ever heard of recursion? |

Yes, it has to be in base 2. I haven't heard of recursion no, care to elaborate? |

basicly its a function or program that recalls it self each time until the final value is computed... you can use it to do your binary addition/multiplication/subraction/division easily since you basicly do the same procedure each time... go look up on it in the tutorials... then post some attempts and i'll help you do the rest |
