- Plain Vanilla Math Drills Manual
- by Anthony Gottsponer
-
- Math drills are selected from multi level menus one menu for math type.
-
- All input is done by hot keys Enter is not used except as noted below.
-
- The "Enter" key is not used except in the "Expert mode".
-
- All answers for addition, subtraction, and multiplication are prompted and
- input right to left. Division is input left to right.
-
- The program will show the user his answer and ask if it is right. Before
- this happens you may backspace to correct a digit or two. At this prompt
- called "Verify" you can reenter your answer. You may also enter a "V" to
- turn this feature off.
-
- You then are asked if you want another, if you want to work another
- problem of the same type you were just working answer "Y", any other
- answer will reload the last menu you were working from. A "V" will
- turn the "Verify" back on.
-
- From the menus you may select the problem type by entering a number from
- 1 to 9, or you may activate several features.
-
- "H" help will display instructions for this program.
-
- "K" will allow you to set your colors for foreground and background.
- (Yes I know color begins with a "C" but since "color" is a
- reserved word in the source code i had to fudge a little.)
-
- "E" Expert mode for addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The
- program will not drop out when you answer length is reached, you
- have to hit "Enter" for your answer to be recognized, (except if
- you go beyond the maximum number of allowable digits.)
- The "Verify is turned off during the Expert mode.
-
- "A" Will jump you to the Addition Menu
-
- "D" Will jump you to the Division Menu
-
- "S" Will jump you to the Subtraction Menu
-
- "M" Will jump you to the Main Menu
-
- "T" Will jump you to the mulTiplaction Menu
-
- The program will only accepts the above numbers or letters at the prompts.
- It will only accept numbers during the problem solving mode.
