studying the basics on the program...need some help!

-----------------------------------

alright here's the thing...i have this question to answer and i don't need any answers...but could u edit my codes??? there seems to be something wrong with the formula of the "staverage" and how do i get the average in one decimal place????

%declare variables
    var name,course1,course2,course3 : string
    var mark1,mark2,mark3,average,staverage : real
    
%capture name, three courses and marks
    put "What is your name?"..
    get name
    put "Hello, ",name,"! Enter a course you are taking"..
    get course1
    put "Great! Enter another course you are taking"..
    get course2
    put "Wow! Enter another course you are taking"..
    get course3
    
%calculate student average
    staverage:=(course1+course2+course3)/3

this should be moved to help...but newayz

course1, 2 and 3 are strings, so u can't divide them...try using mark 1,2 and 3 instead...u have more variables than necesary, but that's ok, its just beter to use fewer

as for output to # of decimal place, use

put 123.456:0:1


:0 does nothing, but if its another number, it would add spaces to the output to make word that length. Used for spacing of output.

:1 is the number of decimal places to display

sorry...nevermind...i got it...i just had to put "put staverage:0:1" instead of the decimal number u gave me...thanx for ur help!!!!!! another question...if u have time...i have to answer a question that says "write at least 2 questions. Each question on its own screen."

do u think that i would need to use the "randomize" command for this?

-----------------------------------

no, i dont think you have to use Rand to write two questions on separate screens. You might have to use cls  instead :lol:

here, try this for your program...change the put statements to whatever you want them as.

var name,answer:string
var winID:int
var mark,mark1,mark2,staverage:real

winID:=Window.Open("position:top,center,graphics:640;640")

loop
put "Please enter your name: "..
get name
cls

put "Hello ", name, " Please enter marks for your first course: "..
get mark
cls

put "Please enter marks for your second course: "..
get mark1
cls

put "Please enter marks for your third course: "..
get mark2
cls

staverage:=(mark + mark1 + mark2)/3

put "Your average is: ", staverage
delay(10000)
cls

put "Would you like to continue(yes/no): "..
get answer
loop 
if answer="no" then
Window.Close(winID)
end if
end loop
end loop
