----------------------------------- blackwhite Tue Jul 13, 2004 3:57 pm I need help on making this code smaller ----------------------------------- for x : 1 .. value (1) ticketid (x) := username (1) end for for x : value (1) .. value (2) ticketid (x) := username (2) end for for x : value (2) .. value (3) ticketid (x) := username (3) end for for x : value (3) .. value (4) ticketid (x) := username (4) end for I'm using this to make a random raffle draw for myself, but obviously this will only work if there are exactly 4 people. I would have to manually add code for it to work for more, and so I need it to use the amount of people (variable name "memnum"). In this code, I'm basically assigning each member to the ticket number they bought, so i can use a random number and find the ticketholder. ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Tue Jul 13, 2004 7:16 pm ----------------------------------- value (0) := 1 for i : 1 .. 4 for x : value (i - 1) .. value (i) ticketid (x) := username (i) end for end for make sure when you declare value, it is an array with lower bound 0. ----------------------------------- blackwhite Wed Jul 14, 2004 11:38 am ----------------------------------- thanks a lot. i tried something like that, but it didn't work for some reason, and it got confusing with all my variables, so i just restarted.
