Syntax index (s , patt : string ) : int

Description The index function is used to find the position of patt within string s. For example, index ( "chair", "air" ) is 3.

... that only finds it once...

[SuperGenius]

then figure out a way to make if find it more than once.

As a hint, use substrings in a loop, but for how to do that, you have to figure it out on your own. F10 helps.
Good luck

werd... umm ok so this is what im thinking

code:

for i : 1..length(sentence) c := index(sentence, find) if c not= 0 then count := count + 1 end if end for

[beard0]

not quite - don't do a for loop, do a regular loop and use a counter for the begining of the substring, which you then set to the end of the searched for string - otherwise, you'll get it counting 3 "air" in "chair"
ie
chair +1
hair +1
air +1
ir +0
r +0
result ? 3

try again!

a hint : once you found a match, remove it so it doesnt get counted again. Continue on searching untill 0 matches found.

ok lets c here

code:

var s, t : string := "" var count, i : int := 0 put "Enter sentence..." get s put "Enter words to find..." get t delay (2000) cls loop     i := index (s.t)     if i not= then         count := count + 1         s := s (i + 1 .. *)     end if     exit when i = 0 end loop put count

w00t ?

It should be this.

code:

var s, t : string := "" var count, i : int := 0 put "Enter sentence..." get s put "Enter words to find..." get t delay (2000) cls loop     i := index (s, t)     if i not= 0 then         count := count + 1         s := s (i + 1 .. *)     end if     exit when i = 0 end loop put count

[eNc]

thats what i meant, as you can see there are a lot of errors, it was too early to think

Actually in order to work even better to accept a full sentence it should be this

code:

var s, t : string var count, i : int := 0 put "Enter sentence..." get s:* put "Enter words to find..." get t:* loop     i := index (s, t)     if i not= 0 then         count := count + 1         s := s (i + 1 .. *)     end if     exit when i = 0 end loop put count

wtf? did you just get rid of two of your own bits?

By the way, now that's we're on the topic of post counts, Is it just my imagination playing cruel tricks on me, or does my post count go down everytime I post in the spam section?

Because I've know for a fact I've posted more than 89 times.

[Dan]

Posting in spam dose not make your count go down, it just dose not count posts in the spam section.

[eNc]

woah im not getting this -2 bits sytem and whatever it is, im confused

[mod:d20d19d669]
it is quite simple, when you post in a area other then spam just to get posts some mods get mad and take bits.

-2 bits
