question about printing numbers on screen

question about printing numbers on screen

[Beau]

How would I print an integer variable on the screen whose number was in the
thousands
say 10000 but have it print like this:

10,000

how would I put in the comma to seperate?

Use the modulus operation and a switch to format your IO.

  If your compiler implements Annex F, Information Systems, you can do it
with a "picture string".  If not, you'll have to create an input string
with the value "10000" and build an output string with the commas in the
right places.  It's pretty easy with a "for ... in reverse" loop.

I think you should write a subprogram for your own.
It's just easy to process a simple string.

If your compiler supports Annex F, then you can use
the Edited Output package described in RM95, F.3.

The packages available are Text_IO.Editing,, and
Wide_Text_IO.Editing.  The types of data must be
Decimal types -- i.e., modular types with a 'Small
attribute which is an integer power of 10.
