Still, creating the functiopns would be a great exercise in character arithmetic. Can you manipulate ASCII characters in Turing like you can in C++ and other languages? ----------------------------------- rizzix Thu Sep 30, 2004 3:48 pm ----------------------------------- hmm such as..? char s = 'a' + 5; well if ur talking about something like that.. heh noo. its pretty strict and type safe. ----------------------------------- wtd Thu Sep 30, 2004 4:05 pm ----------------------------------- There aren't even any functions to convert back and forth? The most type-safe languages available have those. ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Sep 30, 2004 4:43 pm ----------------------------------- hmm such as..? char s = 'a' + 5; well if ur talking about something like that.. heh noo. its pretty strict and type safe. Something like that can be done, for the same effect. char s := chr(ord('a') + 5) I think... Don't have a copy of turing here to test it. ----------------------------------- wtd Thu Sep 30, 2004 4:46 pm ----------------------------------- hmm such as..? char s = 'a' + 5; well if ur talking about something like that.. heh noo. its pretty strict and type safe. Something like that can be done, for the same effect. char s := chr(ord('a') + 5) Beautiful. let s = char_of_int (int_of_char 'a' + 5) ;) ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Sep 30, 2004 4:48 pm ----------------------------------- Heh, pretty much. I'm not sure if it can be done better... ----------------------------------- wtd Thu Sep 30, 2004 4:56 pm ----------------------------------- s = ('a'[0] + 5).chr ----------------------------------- the_short1 Thu Sep 30, 2004 6:36 pm ----------------------------------- i have turing.. put chr(ord('a') + 5) produces the letter 'f' ..perfect! ----------------------------------- rizzix Thu Sep 30, 2004 7:45 pm ----------------------------------- yea wtd they do have fuctions to convert between formats.. ehm nvm.. u've already figure it out: ord ----------------------------------- the_short1 Fri Oct 01, 2004 10:35 pm ----------------------------------- thx u guys tho... i learnt something new.. believe it or not... i never really 'learned' ord.. that day of class... i kinda got someone else to do it cuz i was really tired.. and i much rathared listen to musik and not do any work.. ;)
