99 bottles of beer

[PaulG.]

I like looking at how other code is written.

But what I really liked were the comments that follow the LabVIEW version.

"Wow!! That's wonderful!! I've never seen an exotic code as like this!!"

(sniff) LabVIEW is "wonderful" and "exotic". (sniff)

Although the 3 stars are truely disappointing... I guess that's to be expected from non-G believers.

Anybody has a HTML version of this:

"99 bottles of :beer: on the wall, 99 bottles of :beer: .

Take one down and pass it around,

98 bottles of :beer: on the wall.

98 bottles of :beer: on the wall, 98 bottles of :beer: .

Take one down and pass it around,

97 bottles of :beer: on the wall..."

That implementation doesn't catch the special cases at N=1 and N=0 bottles of beer on the wall.

I would humbly suggest that if anybody from LAVA submits a new example to that site, it would be cool if the credit was for all of LAVA. :thumbup: If Michael's OK with that, of course.

What about this? I wanted to show a little more off about the features of LabVIEW, and generate the lyrics *exactly* (with plurality/case of "No more", etc), since neither of the other ones do...

The entry would have to pass LAVAcr requirements of course

Can't stop now! Here's mine. Like orko's, this generates canonical lyrics. Credit where due: I started from normandinf's fine work.

Good job Justin. Since you gave me props, I won't point out the two unneeded linefeed at the end

PS. It's the Perl in me coming out again... hehe

[Justin Goeres]

Here's another whack at it, with a bit less duplicated code. It also trims the two extra linefeeds at the end, for those who are counting .

I sure like this one best so far... I think it's very tight coding! :thumbup:

[Justin Goeres]

Well, look who's gone all OCD on this .

Not as clean & purdy as the previous one, but manages to use Interleave 1D Arrays and some OpenG functions. :ninja:

EDIT: Cleaned up the redundant Queue Status and reposted. I'm treating this thread like an ad hoc code repository .

[Aristos Queue]

As much as I appreciate the queue version, it's a bit complex. And I would point out that percent codes are confusing and string formatting is slow. I'd offer this version, which uses string subsets and string concatenation... Note that I could avoid the Trim Whitespace if I used a case structure instead of a decision node, but I thought being able to see all the frames was more important.

[orko]

Here's another version. I thought, heck... might as well show off clusters Plus I thought this was a lot easier to follow than my last one.

What, no LVOOP?!? I was expecting a Bottle class with "take one down" and "pass it around" methods...

I really like the queue-based method - it's a bit outside the box. That said, I think the spirit of the site is to compare the simplicities of languages and this might confuse people a little. That said, I'd like to see a flat entry (like all the other ones here) as well as a couple of other methods (queue, OO, ...)

I considered doing exactly that, but like AQ I thought it was important to have all the code (or as much of it as possible) visible in a screenshot. Stupid LVOOP and its pesky encapsulation...

I agree. The queue one came to me in the moments between crawling into bed and falling asleep, and I felt like I had to get up and get it out before I could nod off. Some of the simpler ones are straightforward enough that I think non-dataflow people might be able to understand them a little. The queue version, not so much.

Golf clap for these little tricks:

You guys are the best. But now I can't get that stupid song out of my head.

I don't have time to develop this idea myself but I'll toss it out there anyway.

I think the code would appear much simpler while also demonstrating LV's natural strength if sub-VI's with good icons were used for each phrase of the song with names like;

XX_Bottles_of_Beer_on_the_Wall - icon of wall of beers (which in-turn calls ...)

Bottles_of_Beer - icon of a bottle of beer

Take_One_Down - icon of beer being taken down

Pass_It_Around - icon of beers being passed

The loop would "look" like the song and in execution highlighting it could act ou the song. And to give it that extra "LAVA-twist" add scripting to change the icon of "Pass_It_Around" to animate the passing.

Now I challenge someone to do THAT in "C". :thumbup:

How about just showing off LV's UI integration? Zero case structures, and the only subVI is "Trim Whitespace.vi". :-)

Is there scrolling sheet music to go along with this?

Hm... if you take out the boolean LED and instead put in a round picture ring, you could have a tri-state display. The booleans would use states 0 and 1, and then you could have a third state that is the little red ball that bounces along through the text in time with the music... And if you built the whole thing in LV Real Time, we could make sure that it moves with the rhythm. And then we could have it use hardware to control an actual LED array, built next to some major highway somewhere, and then, we could just post the URL to the Google Street View of that billboard to the to the programming language website that started this whole thing!!!

could you please save your program for the 8.0 version of LV and pas it to me?

I'm highly interested in beer drinking algorithms and songs as well as in led matrices control.

Hi Pollux

Give this a go... it contains the Open G VIs as well in case you don't have them - but you should get them !!
