October 21, 2015 / / No comments

There follows an article explaining this program in Scottish Gaelic which uses four standard algorithms, inputs from a text file and outputs to multiple text files.

Ùidh agaibh ann am prògramadh agus Gàidhlig agaibh? Tha prògram Python gu h-ìosal ann an cruth zip a leughas liosta àireamhan o faidhle teacsa. Lorgaidh e an àireamh as motha agus as lugha anns an liosta. An uair sinn iarraidh e targaid mar àireamh (le dearbhadh steach-chur) bhon cleachdaidhear agus innsidh e ma tha an targaid anns an liosta is ma thà cia mheud turas. Sàbhalaidh e am mach chur ann am faidhlichean teacsa a bharrachd air sealltainn air an sgrìn.

Dè bhur beachd? Ma tha sibh airson barrachd prògraman mar seo fhaicinn gabhaidh sin dèanamh.
