The + is an operator
string + string ---> new string
string + number ---> new string
number + number ---> new number
number + string ---> new number
list + item —> nothing new will be created but the item will be added to the same list
Exception
number + nl ?> New String
This exception is added to easily print numbers then new line.
No need for this with printing lists because after printing the last item we already get a new line.
At first remember that you can check strings using ‘=’ operator directly.
see strcmp("hello","hello") + nl +
strcmp("abc","bcd") + nl +
strcmp("bcd","abc") + nl
Example:
I have the next folder
C:\LRing
100.32. Could you explain the output of the StrCmp() function? 1793
Ring Documentation, Release 1.6
C:\LRing\t1.ring
C:\LRing\mylib.ring
C:\LRing\libs\mylib2.ring
Output
message from myfunc
message from test
The GetChar() function accept one character from the keyboard buffer
In this example
While True
See "
Main Menu
(1) Say Hello
(2) Exit
"
Option = GetChar()
GetChar() GetChar() # End of line
# the previous two lines can be replaced with the next line
# Give Option
if Option = 1
see "Enter your name : " give cName
see "Hello " + cName
else
bye
ok
End
But in the second and the third times (We accept the new line characters from the buffer)
GetChar() GetChar() # End of line
Example : when the user select the option number 1 then press ENTER
We have Three Characters
• The first character is : Number 1
• The second character is : CHAR(13)
• The third character is : CHAR(10)
Because Windows uses CHAR(13) and CHAR(10) for each new line ( i.e. CR+LF )
when we try to use uninitialized variable in the Ring programming language, we get a clear runtime error message
Example
See x
Output
Line 1 Error (R24) : Using uninitialized variable : x
in file tests\seeuninit.ring
Output
x: NULL
y: NULL
z: NULL
Try
see x
Catch
See "Sorry, We can't use x!" + nl
Done
Output
Sorry, We can't use x!
In this example we will see how we can print a list contains objects.
aList = [[1,2,3] , new point(1,2,3), new point(1,2,3)]
see "print the list" + nl
see alist
see "print the item (object)" + nl
see alist[2]
class point x y z
func init p1,p2,p3 x=p1 y=p2 z=p3
Output
print the list
1
2
3
x: 1.000000
y: 2.000000
z: 3.000000
x: 1.000000
y: 2.000000
z: 3.000000
print the item (object)
x: 1.000000
y: 2.000000
z: 3.000000

When we use RingQt to create GUI application, we uses () after the class name when we create new objects for
example.
new qWidget() { setWindowTitle("Hello World") resize(400,400) show() }
but before doing that we create an object from the qApp class and we don’t use () after that
Load "guilib.ring"
app = new qApp
{
win=new qWidget()
{
setwindowtitle(:test)
show()
}
exec()
}
Using () after the class name means calling the init() method in the class and passing parameters to this method.
If we used () while no init() method in the class we get the expected error message.
The class qApp don’t have this method while the other classes have it because they need it to create an object using
a function that return a pointer to that object and this pointer will be stored in an attribute called pObject, for more
information see ring_qt.ring file which contains the classes.
100.37. How to insert an item to the first position in the list? 1797
Ring Documentation, Release 1.6
100.40 Why the window title bar is going outside the screen?
I would expect that the window will run at the point (0,0) with (200,200) size but the actual result is that the window
title bar is going outside the screen.
This is related to the behavior of Qt framework.
The next code will avoid the problem
load "guilib.ring"
new qApp {
new qWidget() {
move(0,0)
resize(200,200)
show()
}
exec()
}

setgeometry(200,100,100,30)
settext("Button2")
}
exec()
func click
This example demonstrates how to close a window and show another one
Load "guilib.ring"
app=new qApp
{
frmBefore=new Qwidget()
{
setWindowTitle("before!")
resize(300,320)
move(200,200)
button=new qPushButton(frmBefore)
{
setText("Close")
setClickEvent("frmBefore.close() frmMain.show()")
}
show()
}
frmMain=new Qwidget()
{
setWindowTitle("After!")
resize(300,320)
move(200,200)
}
exec()
load "guilib.ring"
app=new qApp
{
frmStart=new Qwidget()
{
setWindowTitle("The First Window")
resize(300,320)
move(200,200)
button=new qPushButton(frmStart)
{
setText("Show Modal Window")
resize(200,30)
setClickEvent("frmModal.show()")
}
new qPushButton(frmStart)
{
setText("Close Window")
move(0,50)
resize(200,30)
setClickEvent("frmStart.Close()")
}
show()
}
exec()

In Ring 1.1 and later versions we have native support for SQLite, so you don’t need to use it through ODBC.
Also we can access SQLite through RingQt.
The answer to your question
pODBC = odbc_init()
odbc_connect(pODBC,"DRIVER=SQLite3 ODBC Driver;Database=mydb.db;LongNames=0;"+
"Timeout=1000;NoTXN=0;SyncPragma=NORMAL;StepAPI=0;")
odbc_execute(pODBC,"create table 'tel' ('ID','NAME','PHONE');")
odbc_execute(pODBC,"insert into 'tel' values ('1','Mahmoud','123456');")
odbc_execute(pODBC,"insert into 'tel' values ('2','Ahmed','123456');")
odbc_execute(pODBC,"insert into 'tel' values ('3','Ibrahim','123456');")
odbc_execute(pODBC,"select * from tel") + nl
nMax = odbc_colcount(pODBC)
See "Columns Count : " + nMax + nl
while odbc_fetch(pODBC)
See nl
for x = 1 to nMax
see odbc_getdata(pODBC,x)
if x != nMax see " - " ok
next
end
odbc_disconnect(pODBC)
odbc_close(pODBC)
Output:
Columns Count : 3
1 - Mahmoud - 123456
2 - Ahmed - 123456
3 - Ibrahim - 123456
Output
