(This post was last modified: 09-11-2022, 02:23 PM by Pete.)
So I tried this new improved division code I created in the pi routine Jack provided, and wow, a 700% speed improvement! That makes it 500%+ faster than that same pi routine running with Treebeard's string math.
From the pi thread, I commented about the improvements...
"Basically what I did was to shortcut zero and 1 divisors, chop out leading zeros in small decimal numbers making less digits to calculate, estimate the mult loop by using just the first one or two digits of the divisor and the dividend or remainder so it usually only takes two tries to get the right multiplier before subtracting to obtain the remainder and, of course, working with chunks of numbers with multiplication and subtraction in the long division process.
I knew it would be faster, I'm just amazed it's so much faster.
Now I'm wondering how much faster it could be if I switched from string concatenation to fixed string replacement? I did that once with a c keyboard WP routine (about the only complicated C/C++ prog I've ever written) and the speed increase was pretty impressive. Converting for string math might be a bit of a challenge, and if too many conditions need to be added, it might end up being a push."
So this code was added to that pi routine, but you can try the it out here as a divison calculator by inputting a dividend and divisor. It will validate input, but I left out my conversion of scientific notation to numerical expresion for this demo, so don't input SI.
It has a variable named: BETATEST%. Set it to ZERO to avoid all the screen notes, SLEEP between loops, and just get the results. I kept betatest% = -1 for this demo, to show the divison steps in progress.
Increase or decrease the limit&& variable to control the number of digits displayed. Note: for this demo, I did not include my rounding routie to round the last digit displayed.
So while my previous string routine was accurate for large numbers, this routine is looking to be both accurate and fast. I think it's fast enough now to be to calculate numbers with several hundreds of digits to sevreral hundreds of places almost instantaneously!
As for beta testing, that's another workhorse in the making. I will need to try some huge numbers out on n online precison calculator later. Of course if anyone spots any bugs, let me know, and I'll look into it. Maybe soon I can bump this baby up to a work in progress.
Thanks to Jack for getting me motivated to look further into this project.

Oh, and just for fun, here is the string math routine as a function. The function calls the appropriate math subs. Of course, those subs could just be all part of the function, with GOSUB/RETURN but from a previous discussion, it seems most of us prefer separate subs.
So a PRINT SM("24/6") will return a string value of 4.

Anyway, I hardly ever work with functions, mostly all subs, so...
Is there anyway to make:
PRINT sm$("24/6")
into...
PRINT sm("24/6") [no $ sign]
DIM sm AS STRING fails because the name is already in use for the function.
What I would really like is : PRINT sm 24/6 but that's probably close to impossible as strings.

The problem is that it could make QB64 like Freebasic -- might not allow sigils any longer anywhere, for the sake of defining:
FUNCTION sm(a as string) as string
instead of
FUNCTION sm$(a$)
If the QB64 programmers (or contributor!) are slick enough, could make an exception just for user's string functions, as was already done for a short time with one of the QB64-only functions for Internet.

I wouldn't like that trade off losing the ability to use %,$, etc. on variables, either. That stated, if there was a way to make FUNCTION sm(x$) AS STRING, as per your example, that would be cool.
To me, I'm not seeing a good "One size fits all." method here.
Several methods could be made, the best one would depend on best meeting the needs of the program. While function is a neat compact way to PRINT the results when working explicitly with numeric literals, it's not so hot when we need to work with variables.
Code: (Select All) DEFSTR A-C
a = "24"
b = "4"
sm a, "*", b: PRINT c
SUB sm (a, c, b)
PRINT a, c, b
SELECT CASE c
CASE "*"
CASE "/"
CASE "+"
CASE "-"
END SELECT
c = runningtotal$
END SUB
Or... we just DIM STRING and call each string math sub like sm_mult a, b, c... sm_div a, b, c... etc.
Or with a DIM STRING and function... PRINT sm_mult$ (a, b) or c = sm_mult$ (a, b) to place the results in a variable, like a sub would.
Anyone have any particular preferences or other sub/function call variants?
Pete
PS Thanks for the link. I actually had to make a spelling edit on that page before coming back.

EDITED to correct a glitch Jack uncovered. Thanks Jack! +2
Note: A variable could be easily substituted for the PRINT function statements for progressive calculations.

hello Pete
something is wrong, try with the following values
Code: (Select All) limit&& = 32: betatest% = 0
If betatest% Then Width 170, 42: _ScreenMove 0, 0
Dim Shared stringmatha$, stringmathb$, runningtotal$, operator$
a$ = "8." + String$(limit&& - 1, "8")
b$ = "9." + String$(limit&& - 1, "9")
the division routine goes into an infinite loop

@Jack
Found it, fixed it, and added just a couple of bells and whistles to it. (SQRT, SQR)
At some point, I will have to address rounding the last digit for limited output. Right now, multiplication ignores the limit&& variable during output. Division will work with limit output, but I need to decide if I need more than one limit variable, to control decimal and sign inclusion. It's only a matter of importance if the width of the display is limited, which is usually the case, unless you include lateral scrolling.
Thanks,
Pete
