Ready to give up on a program (since I can't just pull my hair out)
« on: December 26, 2010, 10:57:29 pm »
Strings and I have a love-hate affair going on right now, particularly where my program Chemitab 83+ is concerned. I can't get the program to display all 112 elements correctly. It displays Hydrogen fine, though, and at one point today, I got it to display Hydrogen for all 112 elements. The exit option ('0') also works fine too.

Here's a rough concept of what the code looks like (I'd be completely insane to provide the entire code like this, it's almost 1k lines in length):
Code: [Select]
:Lbl A
:Input "NUMBER? ",N
:If N=0:Goto X
:If N=1:Then
:"HYDROGEN"->Str1
:"H"->Str2
:Goto B
:If N=2:Then
:"HELIUM"->Str1
:"HE"->Str2
:GotoB
...
:If N=112:Then
:"COPERNICIUM"->Str1
:"CN"->Str2
:Goto B
:Lbl B
:ClrHome
:Disp Str2
:Disp Str1
:Pause
:Goto A
...

you need End's with those if/then statements.
Code: [Select]
If X=1
Disp "x is 1"
Disp "always displayed"
If X=1:Then
Disp "X=1"
Disp "Displayed when x=1"
End

by the way, 1000 posts

* holmes221b is kinda confused.

If (expression):Then
//code executed if expression is true
//more code being executed.
End
//code executed always
If (expression)
//code executed if expression is true
//code executed always

if you don't understand this, you may want to search TI|BD's starter tutorial

press [Prgm][7] to get the End token.

It essentially defines a block of the if statement. In Basic, you don't need one for If, unless you want multiple lines to run. So:
Code: [Select]
If A=1
line A
line B
line C
if A=1, then Line A would be run. but A and B are run here.
Code: [Select]
if A=1:Then
line A
line B
End
line C
the same thing applies for Repeat and While, except they must be used with an End. (No Then, either. So this is a repeat loop that waits for a keypress)
Code: [Select]
Repeat Getkey
End

I probably should clarify that the code in nemo's post confused me...

If you use an If conditional (no Then), only the following line will be executed if the conditional is true.
If you use an If conditional (with Then), then that entire block of code until the next End with be executed when the conditional is true.

And it's that time of the month for me too--so it's impossible for me to forget that fact for myself.

Uhm.

Well.

You have my sincerest apologies, madame. (Ma'am seems so... informal.)

Everyone also forgot to mention that you need End at the end of an If/Then/Else statement. If you need anymore help just let us now :)
