101, yeah, I know, I'm new at this.

The class is on QBASIC, and I'm trying to figure out why

WHILE INSTR(Move$, " ") > -1
   A = INSTR(Move$, " ")
   C = A + 1
   B = A - 1
   D = LEN(Move$)
   LeftPart$ = LEFT$(Move$, (B))
   RightPart$ = MID$(Move$, (B), (D - B))
   Move$ = LeftPart$ + Right$
WEND

returns "ILLEGAL FUNCTION CALL" at the LeftPart$ line.

Seriously? That's amazing.

Here's your hint: it's not fucking Lisp.

I just did.

lets pretend, since I'm taking programming 101, that I don't know anything about Lisp.

what the HELL are you talking about?

Maybe you should try /g/.

So, you're saying the Technology board would be more suited for my Programming question than the Programming board?

I think you need to get some sleep.

Alright...

Is this an elitist, asshole, e-penis-engorgement party, or a discussion board?

Yes. Definitely.

Well, when you put it like that, B is negative.

Holy shit, I haven't programmed QBASIC for over 12 years. I'm amazed that it's still being used for teaching.

"Illegal function call" means that you called the LEFT$ function with a bad parameter. Probably your variable B has become negative at some point.

You should add some debugging info just before it, something like PRINT A, B, C, D, Move$. Then look at your output screen to see what your program actually did.

Holy fuck. Why are they still teaching this? Where do you live?

You guys are a little late to this party. I already expressed amazement, scared OP off, and debugged his program, in that order.

Also RIGHT$ should be RIGHTPART$.
