Re: Re: PHP Math Question

I like Eric's idea of showing the values and added a form to it so you can select the number of items to show before running the script. <?php if(!$_POST["Submit"]) { echo "<form method=post action=".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].">" Maximum Number to Show: <input type=text name=i size=5 value=10000> <input type=submit name=Submit value=Show> </form>"; } else { for($i = 1, $j = 1; $i <= $_POST["i"]; $i++, $j++){ if($j == 5){ $j = 1; print "\n<br>"; } print $i." is to ".$j."<br>\n"; } // end for ?> Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bronislav Klučka" <Bronislav.Klucka@pro2-soft.com> To: "Eric Bolikowski" <eric@broadpark.no>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 5:22 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: PHP Math Question | I do not know if I understand well, but what about | | $group=$number % 4; | if ($group==0) $group=4; | | Brona | | > -----Original Message----- | > From: Eric Bolikowski [mailto:eric@broadpark.no] | > Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 10:53 PM | > To: php-general@lists.php.net | > Subject: [PHP] Re: PHP Math Question | > | > | > | > "Mike D" <mike@awn.com> wrote in message | > news:BBFE14A9.107A2%mike@awn.com... | > > I'm am completely stumped on a seemingly simple math formula | > > | > > I need to find a way to map a set of numbers up to 4 (e.g. | > 1,2,3,4 or 1,2) | > > to any number in a range of up to 10,000 (ideally, unlimited). | > Such that, | > > | > > (e.g. 1,2,3,4) | > > | > > 1 is to 1 | > > 2 is to 2 | > > 3 is to 3 | > > 4 is to 4 | > > | > > 5 is to 1 | > > 6 is to 2 | > > 7 is to 3 | > > 8 is to 4 | > > | > > 9 is to 1 | > > 10 is to 2 | > > 11 is to 3 | > > 12 is to 4 | > > | > > 13 is to 1 | > > 14 is to 2 | > > 15 is to 3 | > > 16 is to 4 | > > | > > And so on... | > > | > > Is anyone good at math, that can throw me a bone? | > > | > > Thanks y'all, | > > Mike D | > > | > > | > > .................................... | > > Mike Dunlop | > > AWN, Inc. | > > // www.awn.com | > > [ e ] webmaster@awn.com | > > [ p ] 323.606.4237 | > | > Here is some simple code to solve that problem(if i have | > understood right): | > | > <?php | > | > for($i = 1, $j = 1; $i <= 10000; $i++, $j++){ | > | > if($j == 5){ | > $j = 1; | > print "\n<br>"; | > } | > | > print "$i is to $j<br>\n"; | > | > } | > | > ?> | > | > Eric | > | > -- | > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) | > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php | > | | -- | PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) | To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php | |
