Good for him, but the concept is basic. How would one do array indexing without index registers or pointers? Think about it. The question I ask myself is how would I access data in an array. understanding the goal makes understanding the means much easier.Goody said:I know this has been debated before about newbies, students and learners wanting their homework, projects etc doing for them. And, I know all the arguments for and against. But I have to say that I know there would be far more posts on everyday programming if the attitudes of some were lessened somewhat.
I know for a fact that some learners are frightened to post for fear of being ridiculed and not even then, getting an answer.
Not if they:
1. Read the New Here.
2. Read the tutorial
3. Show they have made an effort.
4. Check previous posts here and on other sites for the answer to the same question.
An example would be recently he wanted to understand index registers.(I would say to someone new, this is a tough subject)
For a long while the penny would not drop. I eventually told him to leave it for a while until he was more experienced.
But he continued working hard until he got it. He then posted me the code and I knew for certain he had got it.
Indirect and index addressing is basic.
Topics like this would be excellent for all if they were posted on this site. I am sure there are many more like him that need to know something but they just watch all the posts hoping that their subject is broached and answered by others.

Try #4. Search the net for "PLC indirect addressing" there is a lot of information there for many different PLCs.
So all you students, newbies learners or whatever your interest. Please do not be afraid to post.
Try to ignore the inevitable flak and post your basic questions. I for one will endeavour to answer what I can.

I won't bite but I doubt a student can do the 4 above things and still have a question at the homework level. Most can't get by #1.
This site is leaning towards high end questions and answers but every single one of us were baffled in the beginning. [/QUOTE]
The question are not leaning towards the high end. Most are expressing a need for knowledge for real workd applications. I am in a continual state of baffled. If you ever feel you are not baffled you had better ask why. What will you think of this site 10 years from now? Can you imagine the traffic light problem being asked and answered 1000 times because each thinks he is asking it for the first time and there will be those that think they are answering the question for the first time?
Now think about this. Which student do you want working for you? The student that figured out his homework problem on his own, I am sure most do, or the student that wants us to do his homework for him?
Read, research, and trying different techniques is how many of us learned. In the beginning there was not an internet.
There are questions that makes me want to flame. They are the
1. Tell me everything about PLCs questions. As if I have time.
2. Questions where one must ask another 20 questions to provide an answer. Again I don't have the time.
These questions show a lack of respect to those that may take the time to answer. In these cases the "ignore rule" applies.
