We had a...


Challenge from Nonki:



  • Create a 99 Bottles of Beer program.



NaochanON's solution:



1st way


Mes="0= no more ;1= bottle of beer ;2= bottles of beer;3= on the wall ;4= Take one down and pass it around, ;5= Go to the store and buy some more, "
CRLF= Text.GetCharacter(13)+Text.GetCharacter(10)
For i=99 To 2 Step -1
TextWindow.WriteLine(i+Mes[Math.Min(i,2)]+Mes[3]+", "+i+Mes[Math.Min(i,2)]+"."+CRLF+Mes[4]+(i-1)+Mes[Math.Min(i-1,2)]+Mes[3]+"."+CRLF+CRLF)
EndFor
TextWindow.WriteLine(i+Mes[Math.Min(i,2)]+Mes[3]+", "+i+Mes[Math.Min(i,2)]+"."+CRLF+Mes[4]+Mes[Math.Min(i-1,2)]+mes[2]+Mes[3]+"."+CRLF+CRLF)
TextWindow.WriteLine(Mes[0]+Mes[2]+mes[3]+", "+Mes[0]+Mes[2]+"."+CRLF+Mes[5]+" 99"+Mes[2]+mes[3]+".")


2nd way


For i=99 To 1 Step -1
Mes="0= no more bottles;1="+i+" bottle;2="+i+" bottles;3= of beer ;4= on the wall ;5= Take one down and pass it around, ;6= Go to the store and buy some more, "
Mes2="0= no more bottles;1="+(i-1)+" bottle ;2="+(i-1)+" bottles;3="+Text.GetCharacter(13)+Text.GetCharacter(10)
TextWindow.WriteLine(Mes[Math.Min(i,2)]+Mes[3]+Mes[4]+", "+Mes[Math.Min(i,2)]+Mes[3]+"."+Mes2[3]+Mes[5]+Mes2[Math.Min(i-1,2)]+Mes[3]+Mes[4]+"."+Mes2[3]+Mes2[3])
EndFor
TextWindow.WriteLine(Mes[Math.Min(i,2)]+mes[3]+Mes[4]+", "+Mes[Math.Min(i,2)]+mes[3]+"."+Mes2[3]+Mes[6]+" 99 bottles of beer on the wall.")
