Question Hi,
I have a program that was written by a friend, a long time ago, for Postal purposes. It displays a street address, then requests an answer/input then displays the correct answer. The program looks to a data file to display the streets. Is there a way to sort the data randomly?
Answer Hi, Raymond,
Yes, there are ways of sorting data in QBasic, but I'll need some more information about how these answers are stored. If they aren't stored in an array, then we'll have to figure out a way to store them that way, as that is the most efficient way of sorting in QBasic
If you give me some more information, then I'll be happy to help,
Alex
