// // Let's see if we can make use of some of things we've learned so far. // We'll create two functions: one that contains a "for" loop and one // that contains a "while" loop. // // Both of these are simply labeled "loop" below. // const std = @import("std"); pub fn main() void { const my_numbers = [4]u16{ 5, 6, 7, 8 }; printPowersOfTwo(my_numbers); std.debug.print("\n", .{}); } // You won't see this every day: a function that takes an array with // exactly four u16 numbers. This is not how you would normally pass // an array to a function. We'll learn about slices and pointers in // a little while. For now, we're using what we know. // // This function prints, but does not return anything. // fn printPowersOfTwo(numbers: [4]u16) void { for (numbers) |n| { std.debug.print("{} ", .{twoToThe(n)}); } } // This function bears a striking resemblance to twoToThe() in the last // exercise. But don't be fooled! This one does the math without the aid // of the standard library! // fn twoToThe(number: u16) u16 { var n: u16 = 0; var total: u16 = 1; while (n < number) : (n += 1) { total *= 2; } return total; }
