AoA Programs 4.1 and 4.2

[sefaen]

I've been following along with the book and I have had no problems running the program examples out of the book until now.

This is program 4.1 copied right from the book:

Code Select Expand

program charInputDemo;

#include( "stdlib.hhf" );

static

    c:char;

   

begin charInputDemo;



    stdout.put( "Enter a character: " );

    stdin.getc();

    if( al >= `a' ) then

   

        if( al <= `z' ) then

       

            and( $5f, al );

           

        endif;

       

    endif;

    stdout.put

    (

        "The character you entered, possibly ", nl,

        "converted to upper case, was `"

    );

    stdout.putc( al );

    stdout.put( "`", nl );

   

end charInputDemo;

I get the following build errors when I try to run Program 4.1

This is program 4.2 copied from the book:

Code Select Expand

program charInputDemo;

#include( "stdlib.hhf" );

static

    c:char;

   

begin charInputDemo;



    stdout.put( "Enter a character: " );

    stdin.getc();

    if( al >= `a' ) then

   

        if( al <= `z' ) then

       

            and( $5f, al );

           

        endif;

       

    endif;

    stdout.put

    (

        "The character you entered, possibly ", nl,

        "converted to upper case, was `"

    );

    stdout.putc( al );

    stdout.put( "`", nl );

   

end charInputDemo;

I get similar errors for 4.2:

Also when I extracted the files for HIDE, I merged them with the hla directory, but I didn't overwrite any files.

Any help appreciated.

Hate to reply to my own thread, but this isn't intended as a bump.

I just tried running the compiler through the cmd prompt and I still get errors.

Here it is:

I've read ahead since some of the book deals with CPU architecture instead of coding (very interesting stuff for a novice - though a bit over my head), but I'm stuck otherwise.

Ugh... I feel stupid...

I should have typed it out manually instead of copying and pasting.

There is a big difference between " ` " and " ' ".

I only noticed just now.

... Sorry. Disregard.
