STUDENT RESPONSE ALL
Message #167583
Hi, Please verify my continued registration for ANI2-D and ANI3-D. Thank you – Jack Winberg
Hi Jerry, I'm really excited. I looked at the ink, and it was accidentally set on "scrape" from the other ANI course (ANI2), I changed it to opaque, and it runs like a charm! Now please tell me how you knew the question to ask that put me on the…
Jerry, Thanks for your last note – I added the missing quote and it flew like a bird. NOW, however, I'm stuck on the next exercise (#4), in spite of proof reading the code carefully. Even my wife pitched in, but I cannot locate an error. The program runs, BUT…

Jerry, The program written for exercise 3 is: // ———— program begins here ————— main() { //int count=1; //int total=25; int mx,my,ml,mr,mk; //Qnumber(&total,1,50,"Enter the loop count:") WaitClick(&mx,&my,&ml,&mr,&mk); //for (count;count
Jerry, We seem to have a conflict. Your telecourse notes stated: "Hint: you will probably have to use the char fname{}="x" format rather than the char fname{x} format to get sizeof() to report back your first and last name lengths correctly". I used the suggested format, but now you seem…
Hi Jerry, Thanks for your help. I entered the program as suggested, and it all works just dandy, EXCEPT that sizeof() returns one more character than in the names. I am using the form char fname{}=X, but still get the wrong count. Here is the latest revision: main() { char…
Hi Dave, Ouch! Well, I corrected the missing quote, but now get the error message "parameter with invalid value near line 21 – printf() statement. ?????? More help, please, I can't spot any more typo's, but then I couldn't find the first one. Latest version: main() { char fname[]="Jack"; char…
Hi Jerry, I tried modifying my program as you suggested, to: //..Begining of program.. main() { char fname[]="Jack"; char lname[]="Winberg"; char say[]="What is your first name?"; char say2[]="What is your last name?"; int bsize=sizeof(fname); int bsize2=sizeof(lname); Qstring(fname,bsize, say); Qtext("Press to continue…"); Qstring(lname,bsize2,say2); Qtext(Press to continue…"); printf("%s,%s",fname,bsize); Qtext("Press to continue…"); unprintf();…

Hi Jerry, Following is the program I wrote in an attempt to do the assignment. //..Beginning of program.. main() { char fname[]="Jack"; char lname[]="Winberg"; char say[]="What is your first name?"; char say2[]="What is your last name?"; int bsize=sizeof(fname); int bsize2=sizeof(lname); Qstring(fname,bsize, say); Qtext("Press to continue…"); Qstring(lname,bsize2,say2); Qtext(Press to continue…"); printf(fname,bsize);…

Hi Mark, I must confess that I am a rank beginner in ANI PRO, and am attempting to learn as much as possible, but am STUCK, and need some help. I have the downloads from last semester, and am going through them and have done the tutorial with some difficulty.…
Hi Jerry, Ah HA!!! I get it! I have been struggling with muddy thinking about that for lo these many years, but now I really comprehend. Thanks for such a clear and inclusive explaination. Jack

Jerry, Thanks for your largely clarifying response. I am aware of the evolution of Basic, even Quickbasic had a compiler that produced executables. However, at the risk of getting in over my head, I am confused about "external" vs. "internal" compilers. For example, I had a bit of experience with…

Message #156565
Hi Jerry, This is just a preliminary question. Back in the old days of Basic, I learned that an "intrepretive" language was one that executed commands one at a time in sequence, as differentiated from one that utilized a compiler. Your description seems to straddle these descriptions. Can you help…
Hi Jerry, Well, OK – I typed in ALMOST exactly what you recommended. What wonders a curly bracket can bring about. It runs just fine now. Thanks VERY much for your prompt and effective attention. Jack
Hi Jerry, Unfortunately, the program still bombs after I typed in exactly what you recommended: main () { printf("This is my first POCO program."); Qtext("Qtext makes the program wait."); unprintf(); ) The error message is now "Expecting a number, variable, or string Get ')' " We may, therefore, be having…
