Ok, this question may sound ambiguous, but i literally dont have another way how to put it. Hopefully explaining it will help you guys figure out what i mean..
I've recently decided to retake Pascal programming language. I did some Delphi a few years ago, but i really didnt like it. Anyway, enough of this background..
I was asked to do a simple console calculator. As of right now, i have the whole "interface" set out. It wont be reading values based on position/enter key yet, so im refraining to typing the values and using the math operators (+,-,*,div [since i've learned that "/" doesnt work well for divisions) in between the values.
My question here is:
Im reading the value using the console readln(variable) command. It works as its supposed to, but now i want to, em, play with it a little bit. I was wondering if there was a way for me the break the readln() sentence when i hit the '+,-,/,*' keys. Like, for example, i have this line:
readln(value1)
What i want to do is that, i'd type anything and the program will store it in the value1 variable up until the point when i hit one of the operators key (+ for example). It'd be something like this:
readnln(value1);
***break it when i hit one of the operators key, '+' for example***
readln(operator)
***break it right after i type the operator, so this would take just one char***
readln(value2)
***This one can be break with the "enter" key hit, so nothing needed here***
This any of this make sense? I really hope it does.
