Tables with locate

[yazdmich]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Make a table of outputs with locate


What is the problem you are having?
I don't know how to use locate


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I have no idea how to use locate


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

const pi := 3.14159265 var height, volume, radius2, surface, height2 : real put "Volume and Radius of a cone" put "Variable is radius" put "Height: " .. get height put "First column is radius, second column is height, third column is volume, fourth column is surface area" for decreasing radius : 20 .. -1 by 1     radius2 := radius * radius     height2 := height * height     volume := (1 / 3) * pi * radius2 * height     surface := pi * radius * (radius + sqrt (radius2 + height2))     put radius ..     put " " ..     put height ..     put " " ..     put volume ..     put " " ..     put surface end for var radius : real put "Variable is Height" put "Radius: " .. get radius put "First column is radius, second column is height, third column is volume, fourth column is surface area" for decreasing height3 : 20 .. -1 by 1     radius2 := radius * radius     height2 := height3 * height3     volume := (1 / 3) * pi * radius2 * height     surface := pi * radius * (radius + sqrt (radius2 + height2))     put radius ..     put " " ..     put height3 ..     put " " ..     put volume ..     put " " ..     put surface end for

Have you read the documentation for that function/procedure? locate

could I possibly get an example on how to use locate? I just swapped into ICS yesterday so I missed the last 2 weeks and can't find anything regarding locate in the notes the teacher gave me

The documentation provides an example... Open a new program and run the example there. Though since it uses random, it might be throwing you off. Here's another that's slightly more descriptive.

Turing:

View.Set ("offscreenonly") for row : 1 .. maxrow     for col : 1 .. maxcol         cls         locate (row, col)         put "*" ..         locate (1, 1)         put "locate(", row, ",", col, ")" ..         View.Update ()         delay (20)     end for end for

Its actually very easy. The run-time screen breaks into a grid of sort. x by y locate(x,y) you simply put the position like you would on a cartesian plane, except the maximum x is 80 (not too sure) an the maximum y is 12 or maxx/maxy

Your really making this all kinds of confusing. I know what it does and how to use it, and your still barely making sense.


locate is very simple. You put the (x,y) coordinates in the parenthesis, and the next put or get statement will be placed there.
