I am using Smalltalk to type in Transcript window a 1-9 multiplication table .
Here is my code:
*1 to: 9 do: [:i| 1 to: i do: [:j| Transcript show: j. Transcript show: ' * '. Transcript show: i. Transcript show: ' = '. Transcript show: j * i. Transcript show: ' '. ]. Transcript show: ' '; cr. ].* As can be seen, the above code, although working fine, looks far from beautiful and concise.
I had hoped to write something like :
*Transcript show: j '*' i '=' j * i.* Unfortunately, they are wrong. I remember C has a very nice way to handle that issue of mine.
Like, *printf("%d * %d = %d ", j, i, j * i);*
Is there a more elegant way to make Smalltalk codes elegant in this situation ?
