I have a program that I am having problems with. I have taken all the empty lines out except one.
I get a nexting error at line 38 error.
The Loop statement (which is the last one) is on line 32 if I count them from the top.
How do you count the line numbers?

dont try

DBC is stupid in how it tells you what line the error is on

just look for the error anywhere from that line to about 10 lines above it

and as i said on the other thread, give me the code and ill helkp you

I get a nesting error. No lines are lit up.

DarkBasic doesn't require :'s after every line. That is probably your problem.

To DBC, a : means that it is a label or you will put an additional command after it. My guess is that that has something to do with it.

Nevermind, here is the problem.


Should read (I will omit code and just put the if's and loops. Bold will be commands you skipped that need to be there). I used quote instead of code so that the bold would show.


Quote: "
If Guess = MyNumber:

Repeat

Until I$="Y" or I$="N"
If I$="Y"

Else

Endif
ENDIF"

its not like posts disappear over time, just post it and i would have seen it sooner or later

anyway, back to the colons, ill just come right out and say it, remove them all!

colons are only used to put 2 or more codes on 1 line, put a colon between two commands and they both will coexist perfectly on one line

you have none of these cases so just remove all the colons from your code and tell me what happens

edit:

whoops forgot to mention labels, bn2 is right about how you need one after your Start label, so leave that one and remove the rest, then do what bn2 suggested

Took out the colons and added in the other Endif statement.



I must figure out what is happening. When I make a correct guess, it doesn't count it. Said 2 was too low and 3 was too high.
I will figure this one out.
Either it is making a new guess with eash guess or it is using decimals.
(BTW That1SmartGuy.. I am the old guy on the other post if you haven't figured it out.)

I think I may have been typing a number and my computer did not see it. ( I would type 30 and the computer would miss the 3 and only register 0)
The program is working fine. I need to go to the next tutorial now and hope I don't have many more problems.
Thanks for the help.

I moved up to DB Pro because I kept running into commands that won't work with DB Lite.
They list the program numbers in the new version. They also color code things for you so they stand out. A great improvement.
Now I must get used to the commands from DB lite that don't work with DB Pro. (CLS)
I am still learning and the only thing I have made anything on is FPS Creator.

If you mean syntax highlighting (all the text in the editor shows (say) red for keywords, blue for variables, that kind of thing) then you might just want to get a new code editor - after all, the one that DBC uses by default is pretty awful. I use Dark Edit myself, it's a brilliant editor.

Don't worry, you'll master the basics of DB pretty quickly, then its just a case of having a good idea for a project and seeing it through to the end.

There is an eight letter word. You can insert a letter into it or remove a letter from it without changing its meaning. Answer

Really??

It came with DBC on the disc I bought a few years ago, automatically installed. The DarkEdit exe was located in the same folder as DB.exe, along with a zip archive that held DarkEdit and all necessary files.

Maybe someone ought to put together a thread giving download links of every good editor around...

Yeah it came with my DBC too but I didn't know about it until I stumbled upon it by chance.
