[haNiieeph]

thanks alot! now i know that basic's universal attitude is translate then execute :)

sir.. I loved the way you are teaching assembly programming.

Would that be possible to upload a video to explaing how to convert ASCII in wombat 4 program.

i will be thankful to you.

I'm unfamiliar with wombat.

Have you tried to search on "wombat ascii conversion" ?

[pardes5]

this lecture is helpful.. thanks for that.

in my university slides, we are working with wombat 1,2,3 and 4.

using array and convert input to ASCII codes

How does the computer know about variables a and b, if we didn't declare them in the first place as int values?

[TheFallibleFiend]

It depends on which version of BASIC you are using.Some version will assume the numbers are real. Others you have to explicitly declare. In this example, I assumed they were integers.

Hey! I'm considering going into computational linguistics; I know enough about linguistics, but not so much about computing, so I've been reading up on it. Your "Prelude to Computer Science" series has been very helpful to me :) Thank-you.

[TheFallibleFiend]

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback.

[TheFallibleFiend]

...and good luck.

Just remember, kids, GOTO is your friend :p

(ducks)

Seriously though, nice series :)
