times table

i have to make a program that displays a time table, now i need it to count from 12 to 1. i got this so far

code:

var gnumber : real
put "Please enter the number"
get gnumber

for decreasing times : 12 .. 1
locate (times, 1)
put times, " * ", gnumber, " = ", times * gnumber
delay (100)
end for

now i instead of it going like this
1
2
3

i want the numbers to go down like this
3
2
1

what am i doing worng?

well here's your problem:

code:

locate (times, 1)

since you count downwards then it will first print on 12th line and go up.

what you can do is to set up a separate counter that will add 1 every time for loop starts.

code:

for decreasing times : 12 .. 1
line := line +1
locate (line, 1)
put times, " * ", gnumber, " = ", times * gnumber
delay (100)
end for
