Increase And recude value

[StewKidz]

How to build, program decrease and increase output program,

This the rules,
1. with input 1 - 15
2. when input 0-5 the output program is increase linear(indicator show 0 to 5)
3. when input 6-10 the output program is reduce linear (indicator show 5 to 0)
3. when input 11-15 the output program is increase linear(indicator show 0 to 5)

This my program, when i change theknob  value from 0-5 it increase,
but when i change the knob value from 6 to 10 its not decrease, why it happen??

Can u fix my program/ can u change with other diagram,
And i hope you know what im think :),

And im waiting ur help

thank,

Its not that tough..!!

Please use 'In range' operation for remaining range values.

Hi Stew,

let's play some pseudocode:

FOR i:=0 to 14     %% loop over your index range
  x := i mod 5     %% get the remainder of the integer division
  y := i \ 5       %% get the integer result of an integer division (see Quotient&Remainder function!)
  y := y AND 1     %% check for even/uneven
  IF y == 0 THEN
    z := x         %% ramp up
  ELSE
    z := 4-x       %% ramp down
  ENDIF
  Output(z)
NEXT

1. with input 1 - 15
2. when input 0-5 the output program is increase linear(indicator show 0 to 5)
3. when input 6-10 the output program is reduce linear (indicator show 5 to 0)
4. when input 11-15 the output program is increase linear(indicator show 0 to 5)

There are many problems in your description:

- in step 1 you define an input range of 1-15, but in step 2 you start with an input of 0…

- in step 3 you define a range of 5 values (let's count: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), but an output range of 6 values (let's count again: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0). How do you want to map those two ranges?

- in step 4 you even used a wrong step number, I corrected this for clarity…

- in step 4 you got the same problem of different ranges: 5 input values for 6 output values…

That's why my pseudocode will only step from input 0 to 14 and produces outputs in the range of 0…4!

A really good advice:

Before starting to code you should draw a sketch (aka algorithm) on a sheet of paper. That's the most critical part in the whole process of creating a program!
