    divisible :: Int -> Bool
    divisible x
    |x `mod` 3 == 0 = True
    |otherwise = False

    You dont even need the guards now i think about it.
    Better not deduct marks for 'em




    divisible :: Int -> Bool
    divisible x = x `mod` 3 ==0

    last year we were going to rev up an HDD and let it loose at a wall but Art didn't have a three prong screwdriver :(

    so we just melted the CPU.

    Apparently nobody agreed on whether it was Review Week or not.

    Lecture didn't happen today, but only people who were at the lab the other day were told. I only found out in Comp. Architecture today off one of the other five people there.

    Depends on how you define best, but dev c++ uses the gcc compiler which is a better start than bcc anyways

    OFF TOPIC: Googles archiving of the internet is so cool.

    Also, first years really should use Visual Studio. You'll get real error reports instead of a gameshow incorrect noise with no decent explanation or line number.

    Also Borland is a load of ****.

    ders a business assignment now?!

    MC tells us to assign variables the value of 0 to clear out the previous value that was stored in memory, but borland gives an error saying the value isnt used. who is right, or should i just ignore it?

    You should always initiate your variables.

    What error is Borland giving you?

    it's good practice to initialise your variables to a default value - i.e. in an int's case 0 - because as MC said when you declare a variable you just get assign a bit of memory, if memory is not used the info stored there isn't removed so it's possible you could get random values inside your declared memory for your variable. now in the most cases you will get a 0 due to memory being available by the bucketfull. i'm not sure if borland would throw an error for this as that would just further prove my previous points but i'd imagine it's a warning it's throwing.

    red x - error.
    hazzard sign - warning.

    for the majority of cases in first year programming, warnings can be ignored but always helpful if you can prevent them.

    ahh this has refreshed my memories of C, ohh how i missed a proper programming language \o/
