gotoxy

gotoxy

(OP)
Can someone explain how gotoxy works.  I'm still confuse with x and the y input.  I'm using an array [1..3,1..5]
I enter 5 things for 3 different people.  I still can't figure out how to write them properly to make it neat.
I just need an explanation of how gotoxyworks since the index doesnt help much.

RE: gotoxy

Declaration: (Crt unit)

procedure Gotoxy(X, Y: Integer);

Use Gotoxy procedure to move to (X,Y) coordinates in text mode.

Your monitor has (usually in text mode) 80 columns x 25 lines. Each character is printed in one of the 80x25=2000
character-thesis. The left-up corner is the coordinate pair (1,1) and the bottom right is (80, 25) cause X is the columns counter.

uses
  crt;

begin
  ClrScr; {screen clears and cursor goes at (1,1)}
  Write('A'); {writes A at (1,1)}
  Gotoxy(20, 15); {goes at columns 20 and line 15}
  Write('A'); Writes A at (20,15)
end.

RE: gotoxy

Better use the tabulation symbol (#8 in ASCII if I' not mistaken) it arranges words into columns automatically

Zum Beispiel: (ÝÐßàØÜÕà, âãßÞÙ âë ïÝÚØ) (for example)
for i:=1 to 3 do
    writeln("N Surname",#8,"1st thing",#8, and so on);

RE: gotoxy

Yes, the tab key is ascii 8...

what is...
Zum Beispiel: (ÝÐßàØÜÕà, âãßÞÙ âë ïÝÚØ)
???

(just curious)

Sometimes... the BASIC things in life are the best...

or at least the most fun
