----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3 Wed Apr 23, 2003 8:09 pm put statements ----------------------------------- 2 questions i have a code here put "Please Enter 7 Words:" put "1." get inwrd1 put "2." get inwrd2 put "3." get inwrd3 put "4." get inwrd4 put "5." get inwrd5 put "6." get inwrd6 put "7." get inwrd7 i want it so that when user input it will come up like the following 1. hello 2. hi 3. bye etc. . . . . . to 7 2end question is how can i have it so that user can also input side by suide like this 1. hello, 2. hi, 3. bye etc . . . . . . to 7 ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Apr 23, 2003 8:17 pm ----------------------------------- if you put .. at the end of the stamend the next input or output will be at the end of the line insted of the next line. Ex. put "put in a num: ".. get num this whode look like this: put in a num: 6 ----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3 Wed Apr 23, 2003 8:26 pm ----------------------------------- how about side by side? ----------------------------------- Ancalagon The Black Wed Apr 23, 2003 8:27 pm ----------------------------------- var inwrd : array 1 .. 7 of string put "Please enter 7 words." put "" for I: 1 .. 7 put "Please enter word ", I, ".", " :>" .. get inwrd (I) end for cls for I: 1 .. 7 put I,".", inwrd (I) end for This should do you for now. The only thing I haven't done is to get them all lined up. But with seven words, unless you have a big run window, they'll get cut off. We just started doing arrays so this was good practise for me. In fact, I figured out something while doing this that I need to incorporate into my own program! :D ----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3 Wed Apr 23, 2003 8:43 pm ----------------------------------- i am using that code u told me i added it into my code, those words will be used in this code var inwrd, inwrd1, inwrd2, inwrd3, inwrd4, inwrd5, inwrd6, inwrd7 : array 1 .. 7 of string put "The maximum number of letters in the word for Hangman is 10. When guessing a " put "letter, please use lowercase letters. You have 7 guesses." delay (6) cls put "Please enter 7 words." put "" for I: 1 .. 7 put "Please enter word ", I, ".", " :>" .. get inwrd (I) end for % initialization word (1) := inwrd word (2) := inwrd word (3) := inwrd word (4) := inwrd word (5) := inwrd word (6) := inwrd word (7) := inwrd i then get error Assigned value is the wrong type ----------------------------------- Ancalagon The Black Wed Apr 23, 2003 9:14 pm ----------------------------------- I don't know what you're trying to do at the end here. But first of all, if you don't have word declared as a variable (needs to be an array too) then the program isn't going to like you. It looks like you're doing a hangman program so I think what you need to do is create a list of words, and make the program pick one of them randomly at the beginning of the program. Then when the user inputs seven guesses, you're going to have to make an "if" statement that says for each wrong word, put "wrong", and if the right word is guessed, then put "right!" at the end of the correct word. Something like: if inwrd (I) = %your random word% then put "right!" else put "wrong" end if Then you'd probly want to loop the whole thing so that if the player guesses right then the program will start again with a new word. And if the player guesses wrong, then to put game over and exit. I'll have to see if I can get more on this for you later. ----------------------------------- jamez Wed Apr 23, 2003 9:16 pm ----------------------------------- youre using arrays incorrectly. this tutorial should help http://compsci.ca/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=366 ----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3 Wed Apr 23, 2003 9:48 pm ----------------------------------- i am trying to have it so when i type in 7 words, then those words will be then retrieved from word (1) := inwrd word (2) := inwrd word (3) := inwrd word (4) := inwrd word (5) := inwrd word (6) := inwrd word (7) := inwrd randomly ----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3 Wed Apr 23, 2003 10:02 pm ----------------------------------- this is my code have to remove code, just in case other class mates dont get it, once done, ill put it back up. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Apr 23, 2003 10:37 pm ----------------------------------- inwrd is an array (a 1..7) array. And you're trying to assign a WHOLE array into a single element of it. Instead you should have word(1) := inwrd(1) word(2) := inwrd(2) If you haven't done so already, read a tutorial on arrays http://compsci.ca/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=366 Hopefully it will explain them better. It also gives some proper examples of using arrays. If you still have problems, dont mind posting (also sujestions if there's something missing in tutorial) ----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3 Wed Apr 23, 2003 10:43 pm ----------------------------------- thx, alot
