somethings screwed up in gambas...

[Existance0]

' Gambas class file
PUBLIC SUB Form_Open()
DIM number AS Integer
DIM solution AS Integer
solution = 0
number = 0
DO WHILE number < 1000
IF number MOD 3 == 0 OR number MOD 5 == 0 THEN
solution += number
ENDIF
INC number
LOOP
label1.text = solution
END
should solve this problem just fine...

but it gives me 465336 which is almost double the answer anyone know whats going on?

I ran the same algorithm in another language and I get another answer. Probably is likely something with Gambas.



#!/usr/bin/python

solution = 0
number = 0
while number < 1000:
if number % 3 == 0 or number % 5 == 0:
solution += number
number+=1
print solution

To bad I was looking forward to gambas :( what a letdown.

It's been less than 20 minutes and you are ready to give up? How about asking on the Gambas mailing list or forum (link here (http://gambas.sourceforge.net/))?

Um there is nothing wrong with that code it should work fine...

How long have you been using Gambas?

I've never used it, and I don't have it installed to try it, but I would try changing this


IF number MOD 3 == 0 OR number MOD 5 == 0 THEN

to this


IF (number MOD 3) == 0 OR IF (number MOD 5) == 0 THEN

(The AND IF and OR IF parts of the IF statement are an unusual aspect of Gambas. The parentheses are just to be sure that the logic is evaluated the way you expect it to.)

Of course, this might make no difference. A Gambas expert could probably help, but they are more likely to be found in a Gambas forum than here.

That changed nothing... and that mailing list thing on their website is a joke...

Try IRC. Connect to #gambas on irc.freenode.net and chat with some Gambas devs. I'm sure they'll be glad to help.

I found the problem for some reason MOD isn't working and its adding all the numbers from 0 to 1000...

After a little more poking around in the Gambas wiki, I have one more suggestion: Gambas uses a single = for testing equality, so change == to =.
