1. Length

I was wondering if there's a way to use length in a loop:
object desc
puts(1,"Enter a number from 1-9)
desc=3Dwait_key()
for length(desc) do -- if desc is 9 then puts 0 nine =
times.
puts(1,"0")
end for
Also, is there a way to eliminate the enter key number stored in any =
gets(0) vairable?
-Thanks

Hi Thomas
Try this:
object desc
puts(1,"Enter a number from 1-9)
desc=3Dwait_key()
for i =3D 1 to length(desc) do -- if desc is 9 then puts =
0 nine times.
puts(1,"0")
end for

Hi Thomas,
I can understand the problems you have in learning Euphoria, since I =
remember having about the same ones, when I first tried writing my own =
programs (In a previous age, that was)
However, you make some semantic errors!
1) When you type a '9' you see a character 9 on your screen. But the =
internal code for this character is 57. You can see this by executing =
the statement: ? '9'
A way to 'translate' it into a number is subtracting 49, being the value =
of '0'.
desc -=3D '0'
2) The program cannot determine the length of an 'atom', only sequences =
have lengths. You do not need the length() function here. Instead you =
should use:
for i =3D 1 to desc do
puts(1, '0')
end for
Your second question: gets(0) reads from the keyboard. You type '9' and =
then ENTER. If you should use ? desc now, you would get {57,10}.
These are the internal values for the keys you pressed. To extract only =
the number key, use:
desc =3D desc[1]
So, your program could look like this:
object desc
puts(1,"Enter a number from 1-9 ") -- neater to have a space before =
input
desc =3D gets(0) -- lowlevel I/O, C =
programmers call this
desc =3D desc[1]
desc -=3D '0'
for i =3D 1 to desc do
puts(1, '0')
end for
To have extra line feeds in your output, use puts(1, '\n') between some =
of these lines.
Hope this helps, Ad
