No Jooel,

the Rules state clearly:

 Quote:

A Quicksum packet allows only uppercase letters and spaces. It always begins and ends with an uppercase letter.


So the trim is perfectly fitting as we are only interested in trailing spaces and know that there can be no leading one ;\)

Edit Reason: trailing and leading :roll:

I know it looks like everybody already has this solved, but I wanted to check it out just to see how I'd do. Is there somewhere else I can get the download? The original URL is giving me a 404. Thanks!

Try again. Seems that the last upload didn't take. I re-uploaded the ZIP file.

Ja,

I'm not resentful there, though Jooel posted a code (rtrim) that implicitly follwed your opinion by saying "this would work".

Nor me.

BTW Jochen, where can I get one of those big blue "mother and child" ear-rings that you are modelling in your avatar?

I'm bored with the small one that I have in at the moment.

Well, not knowing all the the little tricks (EndIf and Next not needed, ASC() only evaluating the first character of a string) I get a 96 on my own merits.

Where can I find a list of some of these "quirks" you guys have found?

 Code:
Function a($t)
Dim $p, $

For $p = 1 to len($t)
    $ = asc(SubStr($t,$p,1))-64
	If $ > 0
	   $a = $a + $p * $
	EndIf
Next
EndFunction




Running Test 1...Done
Running Test 2...Done
Running Test 3...Done
Running Test 4...Done
Running Test 5...Done
Running Test 6...Done

well done,
there is no documented list of 'quirks' (not really quirks, just coding experience).

Shouldn't we call those codign tricks a "handicap", just to keep the Golf theme going ?
