Free movie (ZOMBIELAND!) playing at unitec 5.30pm Thursday 20th.

[The Pastor]

The onset of the zombie apocalypse forces the somewhat nerdy Columbus to team up with a hardened zombie-slayer in order to survive. As the duo sets out on a mission to find the last Twinkie on Earth, they meet up with a pair of young sisters who have resorted to some rather unorthodox methods to survive amidst the chaos. Reluctant partners in the battle against the undead, all four soon begin to wonder if it might be better to simply take their chances alone.

Aw I'll be at uni...

Natcoll =/= Uni

[Danae]

Natcoll =/= Uni

Institute? But then it sounds like a crazy house. I usually call it 'school'.

if ((universityName == "Natcoll") || (universityName == "Institute") {
universityName = "school";
universityName++;
}

[The Pastor]

movie was KICK ASS.

[EJK]

Where can I download Unitec?

universityName = "school";
universityName++;
}

Wtf at =/=... != or <> (for sql) or even at a pinch 'not equal' for the wordier languages.

Also I can only assume that this is some crazy c# style language where universityName is a separate class and has overridden ++ and '= String' operators, because in all the ones that I know, doing that would either result in universityName being "chool" due to you having incremented the string pointer by 1.... Then again, in that case the == statements would be incorrect too....

Both of you go learn some C and get back to me.

or better yet:

LDI R16,"univsersityNameStrPtr"
LDI R17,"universityNameCompareStrPtr"

Compare:
CPI R16, 0
BREQ 'NoStringMatch'
LDS R19,R16+

CPI R17, 0
BREQ 'Compare'
LDS R20,R17+

CMP R19,R20
BREQ 'CharMatch'
LDI R17,0
JUMP 'Compare'

CharMatch:
CPSE R19,R0
JUMP 'StringMatch'
JUMP 'Compare'

NoStringMatch:
LDI R16,0
JUMP 'Return'

StringMatch:
LDI R16,1
JUMP 'Return'

Return:
ST "CompareResult",R16
RET

Doesn't check to ensure strings stay within length and are null terminated (is memory safe if not though) and doesn't do the replacement, but that parts easy enough. Probably a little register heavy but oh well, it's written as if in a subroutine with all other registers pushed onto the stack so there are plenty to go around. Runtime: about 4 cycles + 18 cycles per correct character tested, not including time to pre-push/post-pop registers from the stack.

Edit: That's actually pretty quick all told...

Wtf at =/=

You mean ≠... It is part of the ascii char set...

Lol jono I was only joking.... And it's javascript; only it is nonsensical javascript.

I wasn't exactly being 100% deadpan serious, myself :D

*assembly code*

got something to be procrasinating there?

Still in the parts accrual stage given that I have no valve spring compressor and no valve grind stick/paste (poke poke).
