[ New Syntax ? ]
Ralf, Wha? %) Some of it made sense. I like the each.
I still would like end (for sequence slicing) keyword, strings and I have
decided shift_right and shift_left would also be good for low level
libraries. I have been working on a string library it just has one major
problem, it's all pointer based. Strings wouldn't be hard to implement and
would be more space efficient, I've patially done the design.
Take a text files size and times it by 4 to work out how big it would be in
memory in a sequence.
[ AX ]
AX is a 16bit number. AH an AL are the higer and lower 8bits respectivly.
Getting AH you :
AH = floor( and_bits( AX, #FF00 ) / 256 )
[ Years ]
Alfredo Brand wrote "About this yr is two digits, that's why you plus
1900.
printf(1," %d, 19%d",{dt[3],dt[1]})
It has the same effect."
Actually, No. The year returned from date is how many years since 1900. In
2000 it would display '19100' not '2000'. Euphoria is Y2K compliant.
