random procedures

[msimard8]

I dont know how detailed this question has to be.

How do you make your program call random procedures.

thanks

procedures eh? hmmm..... i don't think its possible... because turing goes in a linear fashion it doesnt like to jump around...unlesss.... you put ur procedures in


i.e

code:

var a,b,c,pro : int a:= 1 b:= 2 c:=3 loop randint(pro,1,3)      if pro = a then      %insert procedure here      elsif pro = b then      %insert another procedure here      else then      %insert procedure here end if end loop

that should call up procedures randomly>?? i dunno.. i njust made it of the top of my head... sorry if there are bugs but something along those lines...we have 4 variables. the first three are going to define the procedures... and pro will choose the random procedure...
we assign a,b,c, valuies(1,2,3) we then cal apon randint function which will give pro a value of 1,2,3 we then compare var. a,b,c to pro and se which one is equal... it then is put in a if functionand calls that procedure and then loops the entire thing again... i hope this helped i think it should work correct me if i am wrong this is for turing 4.0.3x

you could make an array of pointers to the procedures and call one of its elements on random.

the question would be - why would you want to do that?

yeah, it would. I'm just suggesting alternatives. I still don't understand what he's trying to do.

Of course it would, but what if there were many many many many procedures? Then it wouldn't be practical. The array of pointers is the best ideal, and you can learn how to use them by learning how to use Classes.
