Tim Okay, forget programming languages and try this. Get a piece of paper and draw some sort of diagram to emulate the flow of both programs.
you know some key elements. 1. there is program input, so you need to find a way to capture it. 2. there is some processing of that input 3. there is output based on the findings of the previous process. start off real basic and the work on one section and start to elaborate on what is required. for example: <<225two hundred and twenty five>> for me would work like: 1. get integer value 2. find out how many mulitples are we dealing with 10's, 100's, 1000's etc 3. for each multiple, working in reverse map each number to it's text relation..... i may go for another analysis from there as well. i don't care for code yet, just a feel for how it works. i hope that helps a little from there, you can work on the code.

Jason, I understand what you are saying but *I* do not understand how to do these problems. I have read over them and I do not know how to do them. And I am a beginner. These problems may well be for advanced programmers or someone with more experience than me. I do not know how to do them myself so I am kindly asking if someone can help me with them. I don't think that is too unreasonable to ask ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Bell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "JDJList" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 8:36 PM Subject: [jdjlist] Re: two exercises I am trying to solve at the moment.... > Tim > > you may notice that in your programming questions it says "your program > will"..... may i put some emphasis on the words "your" and "program". > > homework is there to make you think about the problem and then code a > solution. not to skim across a problem and then ask someone else to code > the solution for you. > > sounds harsh i know, but it's the truth > > regards > jase > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Nicholson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 25 September 2002 12:15 > To: JDJList > Subject: [jdjlist] Re: two exercises I am trying to solve at the > moment.... > > > Are you saying that you actually got programming questions when you were in > grade 9 ? > > >From where i come from, it is unheard of to have done any sort of > programming until you reach university level. > > So are you suggesting that you studied programming while you were still at > high school ? > I would be very interested to hear about that....? > > Joseph, is it possible to provide some coded solution segments for these 2 > problems ?
