However, when I tried to calculate "70,000,005,000,000,007", this program was terminated abnormally when 15 million times repeated the loop . If any corresponding method is thought about, please teach me it. Toke me some time to realize that there are two division routines one for integer...

I don't know if dodicat is working on his program, but I post my version of his program with some alterations. I still had the one I had done some time ago so it wasn't that hard. I have not commenting every things. ' 1 December 2016 - orinal by dodicat ' 11 December 2016 - frisian, added mpf_clear/...

@srvaldez Both links (GMP/MPRF) do not work, in both cases I get Invalid or Deleted File. The key you provided for file access was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on MediaFire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or MediaFire. Still have ...

Dear frisian Dear dodicat I think that your programs (test_gmp.bas and dodicat's own stuff) show how to use GMP in FreeBasic plainly. I would like to translate your programs into Japanese and introduce them to Japanese people on my website. Please consent to this. Makoto WATANABE You have my consen...

I've put up a FreeBasic solution for the lexical analyzer task (feel free to improve it!) I added sleep because Windows and FBEdit(mod) closes the window when program ends making it impossible to see any error message(s). I also changed "\" on a few places with chr(92) . The code highligh...

I must read again the rest about macros. Edit: I could not find even the word macro in FB Help!! For searching under index you must use the hole keyword #macro in other words as it's used in the program listing. 'Halfmove: If espacios = 5 Then hmV = hmV * 10 + val(Char) End If Comments are removed ...

Luis Babboni First something I noticed seeing Soberango play. When Soberango’s Queen is take and his opponent manage to hold his Queen, the value that Soberango gives to it own moves is wrong. Soberango had already lost some pieces and it start rating it moves with + (positive) but it should be rati...

For the function cmCeiling:
replace Function = cmFloor(x * -1) * -1 (need's two multi ply's)
with Function = -cmFloor( -x) (same result but faster).

Luis Babboni Yes I was taking about Soberango, Numpty\NoMega has a .exe file just under 300 Kb and can processes about 2 to 3 times more nodes then your program and it still has some problems. About debug. The debug information is only needed when you are looking for bugs or weird behavior, it does ...

Luis Thanks for the fast correction of the link. The listing is somewhat hard to follow since I don't speak Spanish. I had to swap my favorite editor FBEdit for CSED_FB because FBEdit does not display the international characters the right way. I have managed to compile your program and got working ...

Here the code. I resisted to public it cause the great mess it is.... but I feel like if I want to hide something that have no reason (other than the mess it is as I said) to be hide: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/69iu15354rkqu5t/Soberango%200071%20explained.docx?dl=0 (In any case I do not su...

@Adigun A. Polack Just some thoughts about speed. When possible avoid using floating point calculations, it's slower then integer calculations. Don't send variables to a subroutine that are not used in that subroutine. Don't test for conditions that never can occur. Don't store values if you can avo...

Have you seen the already existing feature request: #246 Execution speed optimization of 'Andalso' and 'Orelse' ? You can add text inside 'discussion' (need to login)! Forgot to check the forum and the feature-requests. I had written my one timing program, to get timings. The timings with -exx diff...

For the Devs and all others who understand machine code. When testing a program where the “And” and “Or” statements where replaced by “AndAlso” and “OrElse” I discovered that the program was slower than before. A GCC compiled version on the other hand was much faster than it (GCC) predecessor. A loo...

Tested the short version. FBC 0.21.0, FBC 0.22.0 and FBC 0.24.0 compile correct. FBC 0.90.0, FBC 1.00.0, FBC 1.01.0, FBC 0.25 (01-26-2013) and FBC 1.02.0 (01-17-2015) all abort with a "runtime error 12" when they are compiling. When replacing -fpmode fast with -fpmode precise or dropping -...
