Finish program

Post by Anonymous »

Could you please finish this short program for me so that I do not have to re-enter the three numbers
each time i use the program. I would like to enter the numbers once and then have the program select a new
number upon request without inputting the numbers a second or third time. That way i can get as many numbers as i
please after opening the program. Thank you so much for your help.

E. Spears.

CLS
DIM item$(1 TO 3)
INPUT "Item 1: ", item$(1)
INPUT "Item 2: ", item$(2)
INPUT "item 3: ", item$(3)

RANDOMIZE TIMER

n=INT(RND * 3 +1)

CLS

PRINT "The item that was selected was "; item$(n); "."

Here. Learn OPEN and save the numbers to a text file. Check if the text file exists. If it exists, don't have to have the numbers input, just read them.

. . . No one's going to do your work for you but we'd definitely love to teach you methods of doing what you want.
