Expression Gate problem.

[stevenagainst]

Hi everyone,

As I see, Expression gates are not able to calculate this code :huh::

Inputs: St
Outputs: Hd

if (St == 1) -> Hd = 99;
if (St == 2) -> Hd = 90;
if (St == 3) -> Hd = 80;
if (St == 4) -> Hd = 71;
if (St == 5) -> Hd = 61;
if (St == 6) -> Hd = 52;
if (St == 7) -> Hd = 42;
if (St == 8) -> Hd = 33;
if (St == 9) -> Hd = 23;

So, I would like to know if there's another way I could write it... -_-

Thank you!

That is because it doesn't follow the syntax. Take a look at some of the tutorials in the tutorial section. This code would be written

@inputs St
@outputs Hd

if (St == 1) {Hd = 99}
elseif (St == 2) {Hd = 90}
elseif (St == 3) {Hd = 80}
elseif (St == 4) {Hd = 71}
elseif (St == 5) {Hd = 61}
elseif (St == 6) {Hd = 52}
elseif (St == 7) {Hd = 42}
elseif (St == 8) {Hd = 33}
elseif (St == 9) {Hd = 23}

Also, get rid of the habit of coding an if statement for every possible value and always try to find a mathematical equation if possible.

Hd= 108-9*St

would be almost the same

[mattwd0526]

Almost though, plus he obviously needs to learn how to code if statements.

Exact:
Hd= ceil( 108 - 9.5 * St)

Exact:
Hd= ceil( 108 - 9.5 * St)

Some day I'm going to create a language that uses proper mathematical notation, forcing you to use ceiling brackets ^^.
