Title: Math stack issue
Post by: AZPaul on March 29, 2005, 01:03:43 PM

I feel so [you](*&% [/you]incompetent.

How could something so [you]&*^%[/you] simple cause me so much [you]&^%&#@[/you] headache!

Eye values:  0 0 0 0 0 0 24 24 24

Gene:

'
'----- #21  Something to the right - turn
'
cond
  *.eye5 *.eye4 add *.eye6 add 0 =
  *.eye7 *.eye9 add *.eye1 sub *.eye3 sub 0 >
start
  100 .aimdx store
stop

Unless I have a totally bogus view of how the [you]&(*^^#[/you] math stack works both of these [you]&^$@@%*)[/you] conditionals should return me a [you]*&%$@[/you] "true."

So why the ever lovin [you]&^%$[/you] won't this stupid [you]%*&^[/you] gene fire?

No other genes executed during the cycle (but this one was supposed to, the [you]&^%$[/you] thing). So what the [you]*&^$@#*((&%[/you] is going on here?

Embarassingly yours,

-P

Try this

Code: [Select]

cond
start
*.eye5 *.eye4 add *.eye6 add 55 store
' stores result of condition into mem cell 55
*.eye7 *.eye9 add *.eye1 sub *.eye3 sub  56 store
' stores result of condition into mem cell 56
stop

cond
*55 0 =
*56 0 >
start
100 .aimdx store
stop
it will do  exactly the same thing that you were trying to acheive but by storing the results of your conditions into memory cells first then comparing memory value in the following gene.

Long winded ? maybe but definitely possible.

I'm going to get on math in conditionals soon.  It's all part of my grand reaching Junk DNA/Chromosome idea that is probably at least as massive as the enzyme system, if not a bit simpler in the biological aspect.

yeah, I think Anonymous Guest Person was having a problem with that a while ago too.
