thanx

Hey,

Can't you calculate the size yourself? integer, long etc. are fixed length, and the string you can get with Len().

As for the mod:

while (numerator >= denominator)
numerator = numerator - denominator;

return numerator

thats just the pseudo code, go ahead and port it im still learning pure basic

hi,

sure one can count, but there are a lot of things missing in this basic. all those litte thing that make life nice and easier like - mod, shift ... and sizeof.

for example see gfa basic or the hla assembler http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/.

there are a lot of important things missing, like documentation,containers and other things.

umm i dont believe there's a sizeof in QBasic or VB as well... and mod you could write on yourself OR use inline assembly in Pure Basic.....

Of course there is a SizeOf() function for structures.. Just try the following line:

MessageRequester("", Str(SizeOf(RECT)), 0)

And yes, shift are supported:

FastMulByTwo = Number > 2

It's like in C/C++.

BTW, the PureBasic compiler is smart enough to convert all mul & div by shift when it's possible..

So, only the mod stuff is missing

I gave him the MOD =)

Logic dictates, that once you have eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable, must be the truth
