Yes, of course I can help you ! Mail me all. My mail address is in my profile. Sorry for not responding sooner, I had a big nap this afternoon, then went away all evening.

Originally posted by Lord Shield: My Pascal is over a decade old but have some pseudo-code: this will sort out the input letter queries: inp_char = 1st parameter search_String = 2nd parameter (string of letters) wl_inp_pos = 0 wl_inp_count = 0 for a% = 1 to length(search_string) if seg$(search_string,a%,1) = inp_char then if wl_inp_count = 0% then wl_inp_pos = position(this_char) !!position of first char found end if wl_inp_count = wl_inp_count + 1 !!counter for no. of times found end if next a% hope this helps This is the 3GL solution anyway

WOOOOW, I didn't know this was Pascal code. If I sent this to my teacher he'll get suspicious about my capacities.
All your help is appreciated and will be used!!!!

THANKS!!

Sorry but like Lord Shield said it was pseudocode, not Pascal code. I havent used Pasal from 5 years.

BUT this is use of if instruction:
if (condition_true) then
{ program_statement; }

if (condition_true) then
{program_statement;}
else {program_statement;}

I guess you have also read your data from file or keyboard. In Lord Shield code he assumed that he already has whole sequence in one string.

I will repeat - Lord Shield code is pseudocode - do not show it to teacher

Mirac im writing it right now, i think ill finish it in a few minutes and post here. Anyway i dont have TP now, so im writing it in the notepad, maybe it will have some compilation errors but they´ll be easy to fix (for example missing ";" and that kind of things).

Here you are, if you have any question about the code, just ask

program Mirac_Honorguard;

var
list_chars: array ["a".."z"] of int;
list_first_apparition: array ["a".."z"] of int;
search_char, temp_char, small_char, big_char: char;
position, small_times, big_times: int;

begin

{initializations}
for temp_char:="a" to "z" do begin
list_chars[temp_char]:=0;
list_first_apparition[temp_char]:=0;
end;
position=0;
small_times=maxint;
big_times=0;

{we read the character that has to be searched, and we check that its a small letter};
write ("Type the character that has to be searched: ");
readln (search_char);
while (search_char not in ["a".."z"]) do begin
write ("Error ! Type a small letter: ");
read (search_char);
end;


{we start reading the list of characters (and checking them) until we find a "A"}
repeat
inc (position);
write ("Type a small letter: ");
readln (temp_char);
while (temp_char not in ["a".."z"] do begin
write ("Error ! Type a small letter: ");
read (temp_char);
end;
{add 1 to the proper character counter}
inc (list_chars[temp_char]);
{save position of the first apparition of the character (if its actually the first)}
if (list_first_apparition[temp_char]=0) then
list_first_apparition:=position;
until temp_char="A";

{get the smallest and biggest characters}
for temp_char:="a" to "z" do begin
if (list_chars[temp_char]>big_times) then begin
big_times:=list_chars[temp_char];
big_char:=temp_char;
end;
if (list_chars[temp_char] -smaller_than small_times) then begin
small_times:=list_chars[temp_char];
small_char:=temp_char;
end;
end;

{show the statistics}
write ("The search character [", search_char,"] appears ", list_chars[search_char]," times, ");
writeln ("first time on position ",list_first_apparition[search_char],".");
write ("The smallest character [", small_char,"] appears ", list_chars[small_char]," times, ");
writeln ("first time on position ",list_first_apparition[small_char],".");
write ("The biggest character [", big_char,"] appears ", list_chars[big_char]," times, ");
writeln ("first time on position ",list_first_apparition[big_char],".");

end.

Where it says -smaller_than, it should be the "smaller than" symbol (the opposite of ">"), but i couldnt type it here coz the board treats it like a HTML tag and it messes the whole text).

don't worry you're not alone with that feeling..
I got a 'D' at C++ class over a year ago decided that programming is not my field *shot a glare at one of the brothers*

to be quite frank I get more education from the folks on the 'net rather in the class at campus

I did wonder

yeh, it's annoying it leaves out indented spaces in code too - makes it more readable
