Time to enforce my rules, Topic Locked, also, subtracted bits from anyone I deem that was spamming. Oh, btw, I will be taking 100 bits, so people would remember, oh and the 100 bits are per post. ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Feb 01, 2004 9:51 pm ----------------------------------- Use the "length" command. var word: string put "Please enter word: ".. get word for decreasing a:length(word)..1%runs a counted loop to the number of letters put word(a)..%puts the word backwards, since the value a decreases. end for ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Feb 01, 2004 9:53 pm ----------------------------------- paulibians way is what were gonna use , i posted mine but i had it much more complicated , well done paul , ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Feb 01, 2004 9:54 pm ----------------------------------- Um, if he is having trouble with this, lets try to help him with simple stuff eh? ----------------------------------- chibitenshi_03 Sun Feb 01, 2004 9:57 pm ----------------------------------- lol thanks for the help i really appreciate it and also i'm a girl! ^^ ----------------------------------- chibitenshi_03 Sun Feb 01, 2004 10:01 pm ----------------------------------- The other part of the program is if a word is a palindrome i need to put this is a palindrome. How do i check if it is or not? ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Feb 01, 2004 10:03 pm ----------------------------------- :? why does this remind me of my compsci class? I'd use the above program to reverse the word, then use a variable to hold that word, and compare it to the original word. I hope you know how to do this, if not, just post. ----------------------------------- we64 Sun Feb 01, 2004 10:12 pm ----------------------------------- this was one of my assigment... so here var word, backword : string := "" put "Please enter a word: " get word for decreasing a : length (word) .. 1 put word (a) .. backword := backword + word (a) end for if backword = word then put "This word is a palindrome." else put "This word is not a palindrome." end if ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Feb 01, 2004 10:14 pm ----------------------------------- Tony! how would Shantz like it if you did that to... um.. you know who. ----------------------------------- we64 Sun Feb 01, 2004 10:21 pm ----------------------------------- who cares, shanz does not care... :lol: :lol: ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Feb 01, 2004 10:23 pm ----------------------------------- I thikn everyone does those bad boy assignements , i remember them from way back when in grade 10 , i loved gradde 10 compsci , liek the first day we started i thought i was so cool made a simpsons quiz with just straight if statements , it rocked ,but we64 , thats like a carbon copy of mine , i did the exact same thing ----------------------------------- we64 Sun Feb 01, 2004 10:30 pm ----------------------------------- shorthair, I never copyed yours, maybe we just had the same thought... ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Feb 01, 2004 10:33 pm ----------------------------------- dude i wasnt implying that , i never posted mine , i just found it funny how they are the same , sorry if it sounded wrong ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Feb 01, 2004 10:37 pm ----------------------------------- im gonna kill my school or something, cause 90% of my class couldn't even use the length() function. you people are doing if statements on the first day, we didn't get to those until the middle of the semester. man, where do you people go to school, cause im gonna move... anyways, paulbians is the best way, i also did a more complicated one, but... ----------------------------------- we64 Mon Feb 02, 2004 7:34 am ----------------------------------- oh sorry shorthair, I didn't know. but I don't think there is a easier way than our idea to find out of palindrome. Also, many people did the same in my class, even the teacher, so it is common to have the same idea... ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Feb 02, 2004 1:56 pm ----------------------------------- Theres always an easier way, we can always learn from people more experienced than us. :lol: ----------------------------------- recneps Mon Feb 02, 2004 3:41 pm ----------------------------------- That's why we're here isnt it? ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Feb 02, 2004 4:33 pm ----------------------------------- y dont u just change the original word by using a temporary char?
