Thread: Newbie Coder, Sub Help

for those evaluating your script it helps if you can narrow down the scope of material they need to look over--sort a like asking you to proofread a given page rather than a whole book to find the error I know is there.

Second, most of us are used to indentation when looking at code. Unfortunately, you need to do a little trick to get the indentation to show up when posting code to the board---but you should always do it---place the word code in square brackets preceding the code and the phrase /code in square brackets after the code.

You should be able to the the atox() family to convert from string to numerical values. It's atoi() to convert to type int, atol() to convert to type long, and atof() to convert to double or float. If you want to use fractions or imaginary numbers you need to divise your own classes.

Often you can review values in variables without changing the value stored in them, but I'd have to see the code/algorithm in question before going further.

heres the code (on attachment)

lol shows how much i know about the c++ language i made my own sub (below) to do this :P and all i really had to do was at**()
lol, thanx, btw iv used the array sub idea for the multi level procs;

Code:

double StringToValue(char T1[])
{
	char NumberBuffer[12] = "0123456789.";
	int pval=0;
	int cval=0;
	int xval=0;
	double magval=1;
	double endval=0;
	int tlen=StringLength(T1);
	int cc=1; // 1 or else it will loop 1 more than expected if 0
	int repmag=tlen;
	int pp=0;

	while (pp<tlen)
	{
		if(T1[pp] == NumberBuffer[10])
		{
			repmag=pp; //find the true length of <= whole numbers so it will correctly divide into floats
					   //the . and array 0 cancel each other out
			break;
		}
		++pp;
	}
		
	
	while (cc<repmag) 
	{
		magval*=10;
		++cc;
	}

while(pval<tlen)  // < than or else it will loop 1 more than expected if <= to
{
	while(cval<=9)
	{
		if (((int)T1[pval]) == ((int)NumberBuffer[cval]))	
		{
			endval+=(cval*magval); //yay the value ^_^
			cval=0;
			break;
		}

		if (((int)T1[pval]) == ((int)NumberBuffer[10]))	
		{
			 //return the .
			cval=0;
			break;
		}

		++cval;
	}
	magval/=10;
	++pval;
}	
	return endval;
}
