hi, n e bod know how i can refrag the data in memory?
thx
ow btw, i have the 51 compiler.
perceived_iq = 100 * (num_words - num_sms_words) / num_words + 10 * have_capital_at_start_of_sentences + 17 * sentence_terminations - 23 * more_than_tripple_terminated_sentences - 19 * digits_in_words - 2 * lower_case_I;
Might give something like: perceived_iq = 100 * (42-14 / 42) + 0 + 0 - 0 - 19 - 2 = 46
The probability of receiving a good answer is of course affected by the perceived intelligence of the poster.
Per, This expression looks suspiciously like the green bank equation

master per,
im not in menser but im not steupid!!!
thx for yr help.
what a refreshing change! We now have TWO masters on the forum: the newly crowned master Per and the one and only, the blessing from the heavens, the protector of efficient code and the sardine hunter - sir Erac !
I didn't talk about stupid. I wrote "perceived IQ". Not your intelligence, but what other people _think_ about you.
You might be a genious, but whenever you use SMS language on a forum for grown-up people, the readers will _assume_ that you are either very young or not too bright.
If it is ok with you that people _assume_ that you are not so bright, then all is well.
But if you are expecting intelligent people to give you intelligent answers, then it helps if people think that you are intelligent too.
In the end, it very much helps _you_, if you spend a bit extra time thinking about what you write, and how you write it. Thirty seconds saved by skipping characters may cost you days or weeks of lost time because the person who had the answer decided to ignore you.
my mum thinx im very cleva ;)
That is ok, if it his her you ask when you need help with programming problems ;)
