Hello all Gordon - I'd like to send you many many thanks. You were so so right. It's transformed my working experience. That is with the "command line" hint/lead/pointer. It's seconds per step building up the code. You'll be knowing - in emacs its "ESC-! php myscr.php arg1 arg2 ..." with the output showing in a shell output buffer. Else a shell buffer when need to see through a lot of output.
No, I don't know. I don't use emacs. I've no interest in it.
The PHP code is as follows... (appended)
Maybe nice, but I stopped using php some years back. These days, I stick to (my own) BASIC, BCPL and my own slghtly esoteric programmable calculator-like language; Apricot.
Here is an Apricot program to recursively calculate factorials: ` Recursive Factorial Example ` Run in Editor node: ;G _ ` Call from Interactive mode: (G "Number? " ? ;F "Factorial is: " . # ) `Factorial (F = T ` Store in T - 1 [ T \ T ) 1] ` Subtract 1, if zero then return T , ` Push value - 1 ;F = T ` Subtract 1, call F, store in T ' * T ) ` Pull value, multiply by T and return. Some more words on it here for the curious... https://projects.drogon.net/apricot/ -Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG FAQ: https://www.dcglug.org.uk/faq/
