this is not a built-in counter, this is how you would write a
simple counter in basic.Frankly, I don't understand the difference. I mean FOR/NEXT, I don't mean the exact code I wrote above.
right. in Pd this would be
[100( | [until] | [print]
period.
apart from that, it does not fulfil the marius' requirement of
doing "more than just adding numbers."I don't care, it's not what I was replying to. I was only replying to the part of the mail that I have quoted. You seem to be disregarding that.
indeed. but "so what"?
sorry if i was inaccurate about what you replied to, but the original
question was about having a counter that does "more than just adding
numbers".
if somebody asks about strings, i would consider the following anser
inadequate:
[this is a string( | [print]
iteration; but then, a counter that does not do anything but
increment an accumulator would be of _very_ limited useYou don't need to assume that I mean only the above three lines of BASIC code, instead of FOR/NEXT.
i have not questioned this. i only tried to stay on safe ground...
(--> HQ9+)
I don't speak that language.
it's a pity, as it is a very nice language (though not turing complete).
i have written a very simplistic implementation in Pd:

(i think the standalone 99-bottles-of-beer is broken; but it is fixed
in the HQ9+ interpreter)
