Ok...this doesn't work...
Here, this one is a bit more complex example
You could store into String1 "1,16(A-1),16(B-1),2,16," and "0,0,0" into String3, and do an asm preproccess to take a matrix and make it into a string of "which pic to use, which row, and which column"
:For(A,0,4
:For(B,0,6
:real(String1+String2+String3
:End
:End
Fixed well...that would work...but it doens't use expr :dang:
************************************************
Ok, if enemy had a defense of 40, and was weak to fire...
"(1st:weak to fire?,2nd:Def,3rd=Health
"1,040,H"->String1
And if attacked
"weilding the Fire Sword of Bonus Damage"
"100*2("+sub(String1,1,1)+")-"+sub(String1,3,3)
expr(H-Ans
Well, that would do a bunch of crap...but H would be -160 as a result of "100*2(1)-040"... :imbeciles:
ok...that example was :beurk:
...but I hope you got the picturewell, discuss...

In an old project of mine (theta twelve) I used lists for loading, so I had a variable for the 4 char listname, but! it twas a lot of code to indivudaly load EACH list into L1, so I did this
:"L10AL11AL12AL13AL13A...->Str1
then I did
:expr("/L/"+sub(Str1,L4-4,4->L/1/
basically, I took the list (named in Str1) added "/L/" (the little L for lists) and exicuted it, then stored it to L1 :D
yay space savers!

-The more free ram, the faster the prgm will run?
-too much prgm in prgm menu, will run slower?
-does optimising improve speed, ex: not(A, A=0
-is while faster or repeat loops
Thanks if u can help...:)
Post by: tifreak on December 28, 2005, 11:11:00 am
Everytime the calculator sees a Then statement, or a loop, it registers how many End statements it sees. This of course takes little processing power (I think) but over a long period, it can cause a slow down, hence the memory leaks. If you just use an If statement, it doesn't need to worry about an End statement... Using an If statement only allows 1 command to be used, though, so watch yourself.
If I remember correctly, the amount of RAM does not slow down or speed up a program.
Actually, this will slow a program down a little, because that means it has to search the VAT entries for more programs.
Some optimizing does, but others can actually slow down a game.
If K=25:Then is actually faster then A-((K=25)-(K=26))->A because it is looking for the K with an If statement, but with the equation, it actually keeps doing the equation over and over. If K does not =25, then it ignores what ever comes after it. :)
I honestly don't know of a speed difference between the two, but there could be, if someone else here knows...

I seen this on maxcoderz before and is nice, a memory leak I believe is when you use a loop of some kind like while or repeat, then within the loop use an exit which isn't from the main loop.

This would give a bad memory leak (take up ram space I believe) if 2nd is pressed within the loop.

That will return the maximum amount of digits in base 10 that a 42 digit number in base 13 can take up (which is 47). But n should be either a string (change to length( in that case) or a list for dim( to work properly).
