You shouldn't be counting how many people are reading it. You don't have time for that. Back to writing documentation!

Neat. Thanks.

have some err:
-part1: s.l = a.l + Int( f.f ) ; f.f is converted to a float, then added to a.l

-part3: On the right side is the main code window, on the left side is a list of all procedures in your code. (right <-> left: as in picture)

-part3: Because the variables a and b INSIDE the procedure have nothing to do with the variables outside the procedure. They are local. You can create, change and destroy them at wish within the procedure as they are effectively different variables. Then, when we exit the procedure, the original a and b are restored to their old values. (wrong logic?)

keep good job!

Why and how...

(For those who care...)

The smalles thing a computer can handle is a bit. A bit is a 1 or a 0. That's it.

Eight of those bits together form a 'byte'. A byte can store any number from 0 to 255. A computer's memory is made up from thousands or millions of those bytes. (1024 bytes is called a kilobyte, 1048576 bytes is called a megabyte.) All bits in a byte are numbered from 0 to 7.

blueznl:

I just wanted you to know that I'm really enjoying reading your
information. This kind of information will help a lot of people. There
are lots of programmers/developers out there that can code some
really serious sh!t, but don't know the first thing about memory and
the like.

So, thank you, for taking the time to help others learn. Including myself.

i just hope it will save everybody some time, and as it isn't official pb documentation, people won't (or cannot even

) bother fred and his people about it, leaving them to work on the language itself...

(.. and to answer my own stupid questions

)
