hey /sci/,
I dont know if this is the right place for this, but i have a programming question. In my comp sci class, we just started learning BASIC using justbasic. and my professor gave me this problem and i have no clue how to do it.
"Write a program accepts input (numeric) every day and calculates its square then prints that number out on the screen. Every 15 days, display the sum of those calculated numbers."

But really, if you know the syntax, this is easy. just use a for loop for the days that lets you input, square input, store in list/array (idk what it's called in basic) and every time 15 days pass add the items in the list and display.
No idea what syntax is.

It's just common sense.

If you want to make a program do something once in every arbitrary time interval, you'd either want to use a function to check the current time or use a sleep function. I have never used Just Basic, but according to Rosetta Code, it is based upon another form of Basic called Liberty Basic, which they do have example code for

Those should help you find out how you might use the functions you're looking for. Hope that sets you in the right direction.

If troll, 7/10.
If serious, reported. Homework and CS does NOT belong on /sci/ and underage faggots don't belong on 4chan. Come back when you turn 21 and learn English.
