But I repeat myself.

I understand, but what if the number is not less than min (number < min)? Then number = 0?

[vorticalbox]

You need to set min and max to first input number by the user.

 

If max === 0 then min and max === user input.

 

Then your following loop will function just fine.

 

15 input

Max is 0 set min,max input

95 input 

If input > max

    Max = input

Else if min > input 

    Min = input .

Else input are the same. (Saves in needed changing of variables)

I don't quite follow. Is there a way to compare data in flowgorithm?

So basically you need assign min and max to the first input then do your loop for input after that.

Yes. The same way you compare a boolean to the constant true or false.

Trivially, Flowgarithm would not be Turing complete if it had only it's feature set and no conditional branching.

I guess I don't quite understand the question.

Thanks to my instructor being oh so kind (finally giving up and almost giving me the answer) I got it figured out. It makes sense though, I have the photo here. Thank you so much for your patience.

All that works but now your system can't support say floats.

Also, If I enter the first number as a negative number I get some garbage back for min and max.

I can't come up with a way to convert between data types and the language only offers bool, int, real, and string as primitives. It's also not OO, so defining a custom data type would be, very difficult.

What he has is almost as good as it can get (see above).

The negative number is needed to quit, that is why it is there. Flowgorithm is mostly to make sure your logic is good before you write the code. It's a pain in the @$$ but it does help make it clear.

Well this was only meant for real numbers or integers. That is all the instructor wanted.

I know that, but if, say, as my frist response I input -1, instead of being zero or null, my min and max values are now -2465461 and 10000000.

That is because the negative number is smaller than 0, so there for, it skips the while loop showing the min and max assigned expressions. I don't agree with my instructor on how the end product should be... but he is the one who gives a bad grade when it isn't like he said it should be.

 

While I have you, do you know how I get flowgorithm to output real numbers... for example 25.00?

I do not. The documentation is not anywhere near complete and my only exposure to it is working on your problem.

Okay, thanks. It is a different assignment and I had no idea if you were familiar enough with it. Thanks man!
