I thought I'd play around a bit with non-standard uses of the TYPE
functionality. Attached is two files, ezscreen.e and b24.ex
ezscreen.e has some weird uses of 'type'. This is strictly experimental and
I not promoting anything here.
It allows things like...
Row = 5
Col = 7
ScreenText = "Hello, World!"
to move the cursor to line 5, column 7 and display some text.
Both Row and Col can use negative numbers to move backwards.
Row = -2 -- Move up two rows
or they can use the Current_Row/Current_Column syntax.
Col = Current_Column + 7 -- Move right 7 places.
or Last_Row/Last_Column
Row = Last_Row - 2 -- Move to the third last line.
ScreenText can handle strings, integers, floating numbers and formatting
instructions.
ScreenText = 5 -- Display "5"
ScreenText = 3.142 -- Display "3.14200"
ScreenText = {"The answer, %s, is %d", {"Derek", 42}}
b24.ex is another way of doing the "Sorting Numbers" problem using the
include file above.
This is just for fun stuff, nothing serious.
