OK here is my code so far:






OK......there is something wrong. I think i have messed up.
I am making the letter in the array to link up with the random number and print for example 1=a. Im doing it this way and not just as variables a=1 b=2 c=3 because i am going to expand on it to 100's of letters. Of course this isnt working.... thats why im here

Could you correct the code or better yet explain how nad why?

I don't know if it's the cause of the problem, but shouldn't the "letter(10)" near the bottom read "letter$(10)"? Likewise, the "print letter" should probably read "print letter$(10)"; although, it's not my code, so I could be wrong.

Anyway, the problem most likely comes from the fact that your function doesn't actually return a value. Here's what I think your function should look like:



Now then, by adding the "rand_no" after the endfunction, the function then returns that variable. This also works for the exitfunction command.

A little word on the rnd command now: as you can see, I've put a +1 onto the end of it. Why? It's simple - the rnd(y) command will generate a 'random' real number (not integer) between 0 inclusive and y exclusive. Because you are returning an integer, after conversion, the rnd(7) command will give you a value between 0 and 6. Get me?

If there's anything else that I've written that you don't understand, don't hesitate to prod me for an answer!

Hope this helps!

You dim letter$(), but you put the letters into an array called mon$() and never read them out again.

You gosub to _start: but never return, I don't know if that makes any difference. Plus, you are gosubbing to the next line, which isn't needed.

You appear to be trying to store the output of the function into the letter() array, but you aren't returning anything from the function. To return something from a function, put the value you want to return after endfunction. E.g. endfunction rnd(7) would return a random number. (what dr doomer said.)

You didn't dim the letter() array to start with.

You'll want to print the value in mon$() which relates to the number returned from the function ran_num(). To do this you put ran_num() as the index number in the mon$() array, e.g. print mon$(ran_num()). Or store the number separately so you can reference it several times, letter#=ran_num() then print str$(letter#).

You need to end the program above the functions and subroutines, otherwise your program might run over into them if you don't end it properly.

My guess at some corrected code:
