Re: [OT-ish] How regular is pseudocode?

Richmond. There may be a formal structure for pseudoCode, but when I call what I create as a help reply "pseudo", it takes a form something like: on mouseUp get the date convert it to dateItems do some calculations on item 7 of it toss it into the ring put it into fld 1 end mouseUp

Re: glx2

Seems to be working well on this side. I have the 3.0.19 GLX2 and the PowerDebug working together and haven't seen any glaring issue yet. I am SOOO looking forward to making these my defacto editor and debugger again! It's like getting back together with my high school girlfriend. ;-) Thanks

My short affair with Pascal ended when I saw what it was going to take to write Pascal apps for the current Apple graphical OS. It was then I realized I would never develop in a full blown compilter based system as I simply didn't have the time. Bob S On Oct 31, 2015, at 12:40 , J. Landman

Re: [OT-ish] How regular is pseudocode?

Note: it's page 41 in the menu bar, but page 27 in the document. I'm only dangerous in Livecode, but the code in Listing 5.3 looks like actual code to me, not pseudocode. By definition, if it's pseudocode then isn't it too vague to be used as actual code? And what good is code, pseudo or not, if

Re: [OT-ish] How regular is pseudocode?

The problem I forsee with this is that in order to write the pseudocode with enough detail to parse ito regular code, it would be so close already that you may as well have just written the code in the first place. Livecode Script almost reads like Pseudocode. This might be useful for other
