Benny69, I have no idea why that works

What is going on?

I guess the left($,~) is some sort of walk through the string...

But I just can't see how this works. Any chance of an explination?

btw, just to show different type of code...
 Code:
Function a($b)
dim $
for $=1 to len($b)
 $a=$a+$*split(asc(substr($b,$))-64,"-")[0]
EndFunction


I still hope someone can get rid of the dim totally.
doesn't look nice ;\)

anyways, this array way was 85.

acmp,
left($,~) chops off the right most chr so ACM becomes AC, then it is sent back into the loop and then i am calling the function to create the count down a(left($,~))

~ is not operator or something.
figured in some previous kixgolf tournament that one can use it as -1 in some cases.

that is, if your parameter has nothing else, NOT-inversion from nothing becomes true, which translates to -1.

and that's 1 stroke shorter than saying left($,-1) \:\)

k, if someone shortens my 79, be my guest.
I can't keep on thinking about this, otherwise my sudoku time gets shrinked too much.

 Code:
Function a($)
dim $b
while $
 $b=$b+1
 $a=$a+$b*(asc($)-64)*($>#)
 $=right($,~)
EndFunction

nice... I never thought of that...

here is my other entry with your genius:

83/82
 Code:
Function a($)
  dim $i,$b
  for $i=1 to $^
    $b=asc(substr($,$i))-64
    if $b>0
      $a=$a+$i*$b
    ;endif
  ;next
EndFunction

Wonder why nobody has thought of this yet ....

Here's my 81

 Code:
Function a($i)
    dim $, $_
    for $ = 1 to 255
        $_ = asc(substr($i,$))-64
        $a = $a + $ * $_ * ($_>)
;    next
EndFunction

hey, is this a bug:
 Code:
Function a($i)
    dim $, $_
    for $ = 1 to 0
        $_ = asc(substr($i,$))-64
        $a = $a + $ * $_ * ($_>)
;    next
EndFunction


the for loop should run from 1 to upperlimit of int and then start from negative end and finally stop at 0.
but, instead, it does not go to the loop at all!?!?

If I understand you correctly, I don't think I've ever been able to get it to increment negatively without putting a step -1.
