if statement (i got no answers from tutuorial section...

[battleroyale]

so what shuld i learn now?

[Martin]

How to use procedures and functions. After that, learn about classes, and finally learn about pointers.

[battleroyale]

alright...procedures dont...i actually got the basics of GUI. .

now im trying to make a lottery game and first problem i got is how to make it so that the numbers you can choose are only between 1-10

i tried putting var number : int:=(1,69) but that didnt work...what should i do?



ALso how do you make it so that if statements can contain more then one =

like if blah="a" or "b" or "c"
cuz that doesnt work...but it makes sence though....

[Martin]

Look up Rand.Int

[battleroyale]

i understand random number already...i just don tknow how to put constraints on the numbers you can choose

[jamonathin]

You cant put:

code:

If whatever = "this" or "that" then

You need to put whatever again.

code:

If whatever = "this" or whatever = "that" then

[Martin]

This is because if statements function as follows

if [statement 1] = true or [statement 2] = true or ... then

So what your if statement 'if blah="a" or "b" or "c" ' translates to is:

if (blah = "a") = true or ('b' = true) or ('c' = true) then ..

as you see, although your statement makes sense in english, it doesn't make much sense in Turing.

[battleroyale]

NOW lol...how do you make a counter? i cant find the thread...someone give me the link

hehehe, I didn't know that, I just used case statements - thanks!

What do you mean by counter?

code:

var count : int := 1 loop put count delay(5) count += 1 cls end loop

or

code:

for i : 1 .. 100 cls put i delay (10) end for

both of those can be considered counters?

*edit* grr, thats two of those kinds of posts I've had to do in the same topic

[acidburn90]

yeh thats true... ive been working on turing for a long time (7 months) and i still sometimes have troubles with the GUI...
also one more thing...
someone in this forums did some pretty bad programming...
its bad programming to put
[code]
if answer:= "quit" then
exit
[/code]
its exit when answer:= "quit"
just making u didnt get i9t mixed for anything major[/quote]
