ETO Online Quiz Sheets.

Ah, nevermind. I just made a few stupid mistakes. Didn't really think things through. It's all good, Ian
 
Ian,

I got Q8 wrong and I shall pay more attention in future. Nice quiz.

Edit, surely, only "A" will print - not "z".
Edit2, yes, you got me twice, your answer is correct. I shouldn't try these quizzes after being in a bar.

Mike.

I was quite pleased to score 6

No idea if any of the answers might be incorrect or not.

They are all correct, but there are a couple of trick questions in there. That's what threw me off
 
hi,
You can now also include a small GIF image as part of your question, no bigger than 400*300 pixels, please.

Ian, you trickster

When I write code, it's not a problem because it's symbolic so I can't miss. But then I tried to read your mind and asked myself :Is he talking about the case when two things are identical, or is he talking about simple affectation (I thought EQU in Assembly) ? I figured it was the second and I was wrong.
 
Two different things indeed. Two strings are "identical" not "equal". As much as I'd like to use the "proper" words as defined by the language creators, I like to reserve the word "equal" for quantities and numbers. So I read "if (string1==string2)" as "If string1 is identical to string2" .. But I read if (number1==number2)" as "If number1 is equal to number2". And "number=2" as "Let number equal 2".

I just like using the right word with the right concept. I know, too much semantics.. But we must be precise and must use the right words for the right things. Unforgiving language, as you said.

I guess that putting Reverse Polish in was a little nasty. I remember using a calculator that used RP.

I might do a Pic Assembly Language one this weekend.

Jugurtha... In C a=1 has always been assignment.... The correct terminology is assignment the wording was equality not equal. (I'm not having a go... I want others to understand)

Its time you submitted one...

Mike.. I used to have a reverse poilsh calculator.... I should have known better.

Thanks Eric as I never caught it. The correct answer is diode.
