this may seem basic but i'm a beginner...i'm writing a program and i need to calculate costs of items which i store into a table and an array.....is there any property or preocedure i could call to enable me to read and add consecutively a set of real numbers in one column in a table....
e.g
item_number//////////////price
1 8.99
2 2.69
3 5.52
i want to beable to add all the prices on a button click to get a total value....
any help no matter how little would be aprreciated...
Jump to Postthe easiest way of adding into array and increasing at same time is as follows
var myarray :array of integer; lastrecord: integer; begin lastrecord:=0; while lastrecord<20 do begin setlength(myarray,lastrecord+1); myarray[lastrecord]:=input_value; lastrecord:=lastrecord+1; end;
basicly you want to add numbers? didnt get quite your post :?:
basically thats it....i want to add all the numbers from the price column.....want the sum of all the numbers..
you have a known array of numbers/items?
in pseudo code:
on click event
sum := 0
for i := 1 to length_of_array do
begin
sum := sum + array;
end;
well the array is not of a known size.....it depends on how many numbers the person has entered....thanks for the pseudo code.....thats part of it but how do i get each number the person has entered to be stored into the array.
the easiest way of adding into array and increasing at same time is as follows
var
myarray :array of integer;
lastrecord: integer;
begin
lastrecord:=0;
while lastrecord<20 do
begin
setlength(myarray,lastrecord+1);
myarray[lastrecord]:=input_value;
lastrecord:=lastrecord+1;
end;thanks 4 da help...can't try it out now...had to format my pc...thanks 4 da hepl as soon as i try it out i'll let u know if it works the way i wanted...thanks.
