Shortening this code? or easier to write it?

[SpaceDude]

anyone know how i can shorten this code up? or write it easier?

code:

var Names : array 1..100  of string Names (1) := "Bob" Names (2) := "Albert" Names (3) := "Patrick" . . . . . Names (98) := "Sam" Names (99) := "Thomas" Names (100) := "Raymond"

[aside]

you can store the names in a file and call it, then use get with your variables.

[SpaceDude]

what if it has to be all done in one turing file, like no side files and etc?

[aside]

well, you can simplify it a little by this:

code:

var names: array 1..100 of int :=init("bob", "mjkjk", ...."kdj")

and why does it have to be done in one file?

[SpaceDude]

cuz is a project lol, i have to submit it, so basically it has to be all done in this turing file and no sidefiles

[aside]

well, that's just stupid. and why do you need all these names?
anyway, ignore me.

[SpaceDude]

o the file is similar to this is not the same though lol

so basically there is no other way to shorten this code up?

[aside]

well, you have to include all the names somehow, think about it, it is already simple enough.

[SpaceDude]

i guess lol thanks
if any 1 else have any ideas or suggestions just post it here i wanna see if there is other ways, cuz it is very very long lol

random name generation!

code:

function randomName () : string     const v : string := "aeiouy"     const c : string := "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz"     var r1, r2, r3 : int     r1 := Rand.Int (1, length (c))     r2 := Rand.Int (1, length (v))     r3 := Rand.Int (1, length (c))     result c (r1) + v (r2) + c (r3) end randomName for i : 1 .. 10     put randomName () end for

[SpaceDude]

lol tahts pretty amazing lol
but their not really names lol

[Tony]

i'm sorry, but that's as close as you can get to real names without the use of any kind of external dictionary... Some names generated are preaty good actually

[SpaceDude]

lol ic
i guess so lol

Just get one of those name lists, put it into a text file, then load them up into an array using a loop, and randomly choose some names.

apprently, either spacedude sucks or whoever's teaching him sucks

why in god's name would a teacher demand 100 names from a student, without the use of textfiles, and won't accept anything with improv like random name generation?

now, you could do something like whenever you take a name, and put it into an array, take the next array space, and using the same name, catenate "ina" to the end, to make it seem like a girls

code:

for x : 1 .. 100 by 2       put "input a name"       get name : *        namelist (x) := name       namelist (x+1) := name + "ina" end for
