asked on

about my source code?

Can you make this source code into 5 procedures and 1 function into an arrangement order?
this source code is to arrange an input into an ascending order or descending order.

uses crt;
var n1,n2,n3,n4,n5 : real;
    ans:string;
    opt:char;

procedure ascending(var a1,a2,a3,a4,a5 :real); forward;
procedure descending(var d1,d2,d3,d4,d5 : real); forward;

Procedure Choice;
begin
  write(opt);
  writeln;
  case opt of
    '1' : begin
            ascending(n1,n2,n3,n4,n5);
            writeln(n1:8:2,n2:8:2,n3:8:2,n4:8:2,n5:8:2);
          end;
    '2' : begin
            descending(n1,n2,n3,n4,n5);
            writeln(n1:8:2,n2:8:2,n3:8:2,n4:8:2,n5:8:2);
          end;
  end;
end;


function UserAnswer:boolean;
begin
  readln(ans);
  if (pos('N',ans)=0) and (pos('n',ans)=0) then UserAnswer:=true
  else UserAnswer:=false;
end;

procedure order(asc:boolean; var x,y:real);
var temp: real;
begin
  if asc then begin
    if x>y then begin
      temp:=x;
      x:=y;
      y:=temp;
    end
  end
  else if not asc then begin
    if x<y then begin
      temp:=y;
      y:=x;
      x:=temp;
    end;
  end;
end;

procedure input(var n1,n2,n3,n4,n5:real);
begin
  write('Enter 1st number : ');readln(n1);
  write('Enter 2nd number : ');readln(n2);
  write('Enter 3rd number : ');readln(n3);
  write('Enter 4th number : ');readln(n4);
  write('Enter 5th number : ');readln(n5);
end;

procedure ascending(var a1,a2,a3,a4,a5 :real);
begin
  order(true,n1,n2);
  order(true,n1,n3);
  order(true,n1,n4);
  order(true,n1,n5);
  order(true,n2,n3);
  order(true,n2,n4);
  order(true,n2,n5);
  order(true,n3,n4);
  order(true,n3,n5);
  order(true,n4,n5);
end;

Procedure descending(var d1,d2,d3,d4,d5:real);
begin
  order(false,n1,n2);
  order(false,n1,n3);
  order(false,n1,n4);
  order(false,n1,n5);
  order(false,n2,n3);
  order(false,n2,n4);
  order(false,n2,n5);
  order(false,n3,n4);
  order(false,n3,n5);
  order(false,n4,n5);
end;

Function GetUserChoice:char;
begin
    writeln('Press `1` for ascending order or `2` for decending order');
    write('What order would you like the numbers to appear ? ');
    GetUserChoice:=readkey;
end;

begin
  repeat
    clrscr;
    input(n1,n2,n3,n4,n5);
    repeat
      opt:=GetUserChoice;
      choice;
    until (opt in ['1','2']);
    write('Would you like to view the Descending order ? ');
    if UserAnswer then begin
      descending(n1,n2,n3,n4,n5);
      writeln(n1:8:2,n2:8:2,n3:8:2,n4:8:2,n5:8:2);
    end;
    writeln;
    write('Continue ? ');
  until not UserAnswer;
End.

I understood the code , but i didn't understand what you want , can you explain more?

i don't understand your question..
but i can give you a tip about your function UserAnswer

UserAnswer := (pos('N',ans)=0) and (pos('n',ans)=0)

 This is clearly a homework question -- and you're asking us to do too much to bother, for 5 points.
  Here's a hint ... use an array to avoid so much repetition
You're right!
Only teachers can imagine such *%&$# questions. REAL coders use arrays!

yeah, Of course it's an assignment but I want to have some knowledge from you all. This source code is already finished, I want you all to build in a complex, difficult and a shortcut to arrange my source code, so I can learn more in Pascal. The program suppose not to use an array and I want to know how to sort it within a short program, If you all have any idea, Please send to me, of course I will learn more from you than my teacher.

You're saying "I want you all to build in a complex, difficult and a shortcut to arrange my source code, so I can learn more in Pascal". The fact of doing things more complicated and difficult will really *NOT* help to learn Pascal, nor any other programming language (to be true, nor any other thing in your life).
