  • Free Pascal question.

    From ignatius@46:1/124 to All on Wed Sep 2 00:14:52 2015
    First off, let me say that I hope this is the right base for this. And also, i'm just about a complete newbie to (Free) Pascal.

    I have a constant:

    Const
    q1 : integer = 0;
    q2 : integer = 0;
    q3 : integer = 0;
    q4 : integer = 0;
    q5 : integer = 0;

    And I have a counter:

    If s = '1' then Inc (q1, 1);
    If s = '2' then Inc (q2, 1);
    If s = '3' then Inc (q3, 1);
    If s = '4' then Inc (q4, 1);
    If s = '5' then Inc (q5, 1);

    My question is this: How would I "save" the values of q1 through q5 and then retrieve them when I want? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    I have a constant:

    for your use case, you really should use a var... constants do not change
    their values... that's why they are constant ;)

    when you increment the count, the new value is in the var you incremented...
    so q1 starting off as zero, when incremented by 1 now holds the value of 1...

    i'm not sure what you mean by saving the values, though... are you speaking
    of putting them into a data file and reading them back later??

    Ahh.

    Just that, save the value somehow. Maybe to disk? Yes, the data file is a text file that has the percentages and number of votes. I want to display that
    file when the user chooses "view results" (of the voting booth).

    I never wrote a voting booth, but if you check out my file section there
    is a ton of utils I did write (doors, etc) that read and write to both a straight text file, and to a data file.
