in reply to Re^2: Find element in array
in thread Find element in array

I still can't get this to work. I am obviously missing something. So what I want to do is: Use an input DNA sequence and put in array. For each element in array check if the element is a nucleotide. If not a nucleotide print "not a valid character at position xx". In the end, print out the number of characters that were valid and the number of characters that were not valid, calculate the percentage of non-valid characters. Does this make sense? Thanks

    you got everything for this, does it work?

    That's a new question, you should learn step by step.

    Well people answered two very different questions in this thread. You could do better.

    Please post your code so far, and try to be clearer what you want.

    Most of us here are reluctant to write speculative code if the questions are fuzzy and leave room to various interpretations.
