Do my homework or the hamster gets it.

My prof set me this six months ago, but I couldn't be arsed. It's due in in
ten minutes, so I expect a reply real sharpish via E-Mail as I never read
the newsgroups.

The UK National Lottery consists of a random drawing of 6 unique numbers
from a possible 64. Using the results from the twice-weekly draws over the
last year, Neural Networks, Artificial Intelligence, Chaos Theory and a
large mug of tea (Earl Grey, no sugar, twist of lemon), write a program in
Z80 assembler to predict the next result.

Test your program by entering the lottery for real. If your program works,
you'll be rich and never darken my doorstep again. If your program doesn't
work, then you'll fail the course so needn't bother handing anything in.

Paul S. Ganney
* Of course, to do this properly I should have cross-posted to 80 or so
other newsgroups. I was too afraid someone in rec.nerds.vb.ga mes.doom-clones
might take it seriously...

but I've been struggling with this for far too long and I'm about to start beating my head against the wall. My assignment seemed simple: create a program that will cacluate the running total of user inputs until it hits 100. At 100 it should stop. That's not the problem, in fact, that part works. It's the adding that isn't working. How can my program add 2 + 7 and come up with 14? I'm posting my code (so that you may all laugh). ...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
