presently learning how to code in pascal and vba. Assisting my daughter who is preparing for examinations next year. I am stuck on a problem concerning her present assignment. After running the code the following errors were received:
main.pas(1,2) Fatal: Syntax error, "BEGIN" expected but "identifier N" found Fatal: Compilation aborted
Tried fixing the code, but as i said I have just started learning to code.
n: integer; (*n is ID number for each candidate*)
DV: integer; (*DV is the number of district votes available*)
VR: integer; (*VR is the number of votes received by the candidate in
the district*)
x: integer;
y: integer;
Divide: integer;
found: Boolean;
n: array[1..10] of integer; (*n is an array of 10 integers*)
Names: array[1…10] of string = (‘Richards’, ‘Gumbs’, ‘Carty’,
‘Fleming’, ‘Jones’, ‘Amorowat’, ‘De la cruz’, ‘Walker’,
‘Brooks’, ‘Baker’);
DV: array[1…10] of integer = (‘200’, ‘900’, ‘700’, ‘100’, ‘80’, ‘15’,
‘6, ‘20’, ‘50’, ‘1’);
VR: array[1…10] of integer = (‘50’, ‘700’, ‘600’, ‘20’, ‘30’, ‘2’,
‘6, ‘3’, ‘30’, ‘2’);
For x := 1 to 10 do
Begin
Repeat
Found:=false;
writeln('Enter Candidate ID Number: ’);
readln(n);
For y:= 1 to 10 do
if n = n[y] then
Found = true;
writeln(‘Name of Candidate is’ Names: array[1] ‘.’);
readln;
writeln(‘Number of votes available in the District is’
DV: array[1] ‘.’);
readln;
writeln(‘Number of votes received by the Candidate in the
District is’ VR: array[1] ‘.’);
readln;
Endif;
For y:= 1 to 10 do
if n = n[y] then
Divide:= (DV: array[1] DIV VR: array[1]);
Result:= Divide;
writeln(‘The percentage of votes received by’ Names:
array[1] ‘is’ Result ‘.’);
readln;
if Result:>= 0.20 then
writeln(‘The candidate,’ Names: array[1] ‘is to receive a
refund.’);
readln;
Elseif
writeln(‘The candidate,’ Names: array[1] ‘will not receive
a refund.’);
readln;
Endif;
Endif;
End;
The expected result is to choose a candidate by his ID number which would lead to his name, the number of vote available in a district and the number of votes the candidate obtained being displayed. it would then result in a calculation between the two vote counts (division) and if the percentage is greater than 20% he would receive a refund, if less than 20% he would not receive a refund. either result should be displayed.
varon a line aboven : integer ...avoids the problem.
