2024-05-02 04:14:20 <DocturdSquonky> are you tempted to write words/routines/whatever you want to call the function, to take arguments off stack, arrays of words or structures, and parse them?
2024-05-02 04:14:43 <DocturdSquonky> are you tempted?  :)
2024-05-02 04:14:56 <lf94        > haha
2024-05-02 04:14:59 <lf94        > YES
2024-05-02 04:19:05 <DocturdSquonky> well, is your question is this right or proper, or should could would you think more word like instead of structure like?
2024-05-02 04:19:19 <DocturdSquonky> did you the book TIL?
2024-05-02 04:19:26 <lf94        > sorry?
2024-05-02 04:19:43 <DocturdSquonky> did i not link to you the book TIL?
2024-05-02 04:19:53 <DocturdSquonky> pdf available online that would answer your question?
2024-05-02 04:20:10 <DocturdSquonky> easy read, and will introduce you to the idea of threaded wording.
2024-05-02 04:20:14 <DocturdSquonky> maybe I missed something here.

2024-05-02 04:22:08 <DocturdSquonky> best book I can recommend other than Brodie's, Leo is entertaining, on the subject of how to think and behave regarding stack/rpn systems.
2024-05-02 04:22:28 <lf94        > Ah, nice
2024-05-02 04:22:30 <lf94        > I'll check that out
2024-05-02 04:22:40 <DocturdSquonky> please do, thought I have recommended this to you in the past.
2024-05-02 04:23:12 <DocturdSquonky> about shoving stuff on stack, or referencing, might want to consider much less generality, and more specific application and need.
2024-05-02 04:23:35 <DocturdSquonky> if you are looking for a generalized language, reuse, and of course readability for educational needs, or otherwise, forth may not be your language.

2024-05-02 04:23:54 <DocturdSquonky> well, I don't consider my advice crap, but now I know it is.
2024-05-02 04:24:20 <lf94        > you misunderstand :)

2024-05-02 04:41:27 <DocturdSquonky> vms14 have you been a client of a doctor, under prescriptive advice and abided?
2024-05-02 04:41:37 <DocturdSquonky> xP
2024-05-02 04:41:53 <DocturdSquonky> damn right, most likely, and best of all, face plant.  :)
2024-05-02 04:42:07 <vms14       > not yet
2024-05-02 04:42:17 <DocturdSquonky> you have, but we'll go with 'not yet'

2024-05-02 06:40:40 <MrMobius    > can you walk through the code line by line comparing what it does to what you expect it to do?
2024-05-02 06:41:40 <MrMobius    > that's what someone would do to help you. unfortunately, it's less likely that someone would wade through your code line by line when you ask for help online

2024-05-02 06:42:14 <MrMobius    > but if you can narrow it down to a small chunk that's not working as expected, it's easier to offer help
2024-05-02 06:43:01 <dbucklin    > I suspect something to do with word length differences or the behavior of something like mod. I'm not familiar with gbforth, though.
