here's one that works both for the thread and has something else in common with Mersenne forums:

[QUOTE=science_man_88;239048]just picked a number I thought would take a while to test with.[/QUOTE]

Yes, but the task is supposed to work with an arbitrary function. First, yours doesn't; second, it should really avoid such 'magic numbers'. What if, for example, the function took an hour to complete each run?

[QUOTE=science_man_88;239049]the list hasn't been updated in a while lol:

If you can code it, go right ahead. No one has so far in Pari/GP.

It's the directory part that has stumped me because all of ms-dos make directory commands apparently are internal only use grrrr.

[CODE]longmultiply(a,b)= a=eval(a);b=eval(b);c=Vec(a);d=Vec(b);carry=0;answer=[];forstep(x=#d,1,[-1],if(d[x]==Vec("2"),print(yes)))[/CODE]

is my attempt at long multiplication.

why is [URL="http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Guess_the_number/With_Feedback"]this[/URL] not complete lol, it only took [B][U][I][SIZE="4"]ME[/SIZE][/I][/U][/B] less than 10 minutes to work out lol.


[CODE]guess_the_number(N=10)= a=random(N);print("guess the number between 0 and "N);for(x=1,N,if(x>1,print("guess again"));b=input();if(b==a,break()));print("You gueesed it correctly")[/CODE]

Right. Also making it work cross-platform if possible: not using ~ in Windows, for example.

I don't understand the program; it seems to never use c, carry, or answer. Is this just incomplete?

I certainly wouldn't use eval() unless I absolutely had to.

I used eval so people could use powers not the full written number., and yes it's incomplete.

So post it to the site! (For copyright reasons, I probably shouldn't post it there myself.)

You should break it onto multiple lines if possible first; that way it will look nice.

the site isn't updating I added the guessing script, and the rate counter lol.
