times table

[WooFerPPK]

i have to make a program that displays a time table, now i need it to count from 12 to 1. i got this so far

code:

var gnumber : real  put "Please enter the number" get gnumber for decreasing times : 12 .. 1     locate (times, 1)     put times, " * ", gnumber, " = ", times * gnumber     delay (100) end for

now i instead of it going like this
1
2
3

i want the numbers to go down like this
3
2
1

what am i doing worng?

well here's your problem:

code:

locate (times, 1)

since you count downwards then it will first print on 12th line and go up.

what you can do is to set up a separate counter that will add 1 every time for loop starts.

code:

for decreasing times : 12 .. 1 line := line +1     locate (line, 1)     put times, " * ", gnumber, " = ", times * gnumber     delay (100) end for
