From 6ad9774189fbd64b2f2c9519f4513ab34b0c3809 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Gauer Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2021 18:59:46 -0500 Subject: "999 is enough for anybody" triple-zero padding (#18) When I hit 999 exercises, I will finally have reached the ultimate state of soteriological release and no more exercises will be needed. The cycle will be complete. All that will be left is perfect quietude, freedom, and highest happiness. --- exercises/003_assignment.zig | 51 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+) create mode 100644 exercises/003_assignment.zig (limited to 'exercises/003_assignment.zig') diff --git a/exercises/003_assignment.zig b/exercises/003_assignment.zig new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6a4364b --- /dev/null +++ b/exercises/003_assignment.zig @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +// +// It seems we got a little carried away making everything "const u8"! +// +// "const" values cannot change. +// "u" types are "unsigned" and cannot store negative values. +// "8" means the type is 8 bits in size. +// +// Example: foo cannot change (it is CONSTant) +// bar can change (it is VARiable): +// +// const foo: u8 = 20; +// var bar: u8 = 20; +// +// Example: foo cannot be negative and can hold 0 to 255 +// bar CAN be negative and can hold −128 to 127 +// +// const foo: u8 = 20; +// const bar: i8 = -20; +// +// Example: foo can hold 8 bits (0 to 255) +// bar can hold 16 bits (0 to 65,535) +// +// const foo: u8 = 20; +// const bar: u16 = 2000; +// +// You can do just about any combination of these that you can think of: +// +// u32 can hold 0 to 4,294,967,295 +// i64 can hold −9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 +// +// Please fix this program so that the types can hold the desired values +// and the errors go away! +// +const std = @import("std"); + +pub fn main() void { + const n: u8 = 50; + n = n + 5; + + const pi: u8 = 314159; + + const negative_eleven: u8 = -11; + + // There are no errors in the next line, just explanation: + // Perhaps you noticed before that the print function takes two + // parameters.
