    (sqrt) √ function: Javascript/HTML help

    Root, This information you gave me is absolutely brilliant. I am going to study the code you wrote and "back track" and to determine the exact steps I took to build the calculator. Your comments are helpful in figuring out what needs to be done, where I need to call on a function and what...

    Best text editor that open 2 windows at same time?

    I use Notepad++ and I find it annoying to always click "Run" then click IE each time I want to view what I created. I want to be able to see two windows at the same time so I can code and view what I am creating at the same time. W3 has a website where half the page is code and the other...

    (sqrt) √ function: Javascript/HTML help

    Root, Good points. I took bits and parts of code and learned how to code from online tutorials to build the skeleton in HTML5. I then mapped out on paper which buttons, display, and structure I wanted to include. Then I learned CSS and figured out how to add the colors. Next, I created...

    Root, I can attach a value and variable to my code which will make the sqrt function work. However, the function works only outside of the calculator display and directly onto the box. Here are the two lines of code. <p><input type="button" class="button gray" value="√" id="demo"...

    Programming frustration

    Root, This is brilliant information. I will copy and paste what you wrote and add it to my programming library. That is a wealth of knowledge and it makes more sense to me. The # compiler directive always tripped me and I wondered why I needed it. Now I know. #include is to include other...

    Cannot get javascript code to compile

    Here are the instructions.... When we call a function, its return value is just the result from running the function. That value can then be used just like any other value in JavaScript! Look at the if statement starting on line 7. The if statement is checking whether the result of calling the...

    Great information. I am going to keep plugging away at coding. Its actually fun when you get the hang of it. You mentioned that coding is about fixing things....and actually making a program run faster, etc. That is what motivates me to learn this stuff. Thanks again.

    Programming frustration

    Celegorm, All great points and thanks for dissecting it. You made some points clearer. If grammar is to syntax then, pronunciation is to symbols. For example.... The C sounds like a "k" sound. Words that have the "k" sound are catatonic, catwalk but are spelled with a C. The A sound is...

    Programming frustration

    I prefer to stick with C, C++, Java. However, most of the tutorials on youtube are ridiculously unclear and they advance to the complex stuff pretty fast. The instructors do not know how to teach code correctly to a newbie. Instead most tutorials teach syntax. That is not how to teach coding...
