Pascal, reading unknown number of integers - pascal

My question is how can I read some number of integers that user enters on standard input, and place them in array.However I don't how many numbers user will enter and i can't ask him that? User enters numbers in one line.

Okay i have just one more answer i would like to add.Thanks all for your help this is code written based on suggestions.I added a line for writting array backwards just for you can see that it has readed well.
program backo;
var niz:array [1..100] of integer;
n, i:integer;
begin
i:=1;
writeln('enter elements of array');
read(niz[i]);
while not eoln do
begin
i:=i+1;
read(niz[i]);
end;
for n:=i downto 1 do
writeln(niz[n]);
end.

Ok, based on comments there is three ways demonstrated:
program readmultiint;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses
StrUtils;
const
CMaxValues = 3;
var
s: string;
darr: array of Integer;
sarr: array [0..CMaxValues-1] of Integer;
i, cnt: Integer;
begin
// Dynamic array using WordCount
Writeln('Enter values:');
Readln(s);
cnt := WordCount(s, StdWordDelims);
SetLength(darr, cnt); // Allocate room for values
for i := 0 to cnt - 1 do
Val(ExtractWord(i + 1, s, StdWordDelims), darr[i]);
for i in darr do
Writeln(i);
// Dynamic array usin EOLN
SetLength(darr, 0);
Writeln('Enter values:');
while not eoln do
begin
SetLength(darr, Length(darr) + 1); // Expand array for next value
Read(darr[High(darr)]);
end;
Readln; // Read <Enter> itself
for i in darr do
Writeln(i);
// Static array
cnt := 0;
Writeln('Enter values:');
while (not eoln) and (cnt < CMaxValues) do // Reads not more then CMaxValues values
begin
Read(sarr[cnt]);
Inc(cnt);
end;
Readln; // Read <Enter> itself
for i := 0 to cnt-1 do
Writeln(sarr[i]);
end.
Feel free to use one of them or provide your own :)
PS: Some readings:
Dynamic arrays

for-in loop

TStringList.CustomSort: Compare() with variables

I am trying to custom sort a TStringList by a column in a .CSV file. My code below works (slowly, about 14 seconds for 200,000+ lines):
function Compare(List: TStringList; Index1, Index2: Integer): Integer;
function ColStr(const Ch: Char; const S: String; First, Last: Integer): String;
var
p1, p2: Integer;
function GetPos(const N: Integer; Start: Integer = 1): Integer;
var
I, Len, Count: Integer;
begin
Result := 0;
Len := Length(S);
if (Len = 0) or (Start > Len) or (N < 1) then Exit;
Count := 0;
for I := Start to Len do begin
if S[I] = Ch then begin
Inc(Count);
if Count = N then begin
Result := I;
Exit;
end;
end;
end;
end;
begin
p1 := GetPos(4, 1); // 4 should be a variable
p2 := GetPos(5, 1); // 5 should be a variable
if Last = 0 then Result := Copy(S, p1 + 1, length(S)) else Result := Copy(S, p1 + 1, p2 - p1 - 1);
end;
begin
Result := AnsiCompareStr(ColStr(',', List[Index1], 0, 1), ColStr(',', List[Index2], 0, 1));
end;
What I would want to do is not have this hard-coded but (where commented "should be a variable" depending on which column to sort). I know I can't use:
function Form1.Compare(List: TStringList; Index1, Index2: Integer): Integer;
for inserting variables, as I get the error:
Incompatible types: 'method pointer and regular procedure'.
I have searched through SO looking for instances of this error but cannot find one that fits my question. I would appreciate any pointers in the right direction.
This has to be done with Delphi 7 and Windows 11.
TStringList.CustomSort() does not let you pass in extra parameters, and it does not accept class methods or anonymous procedures. But, what it does do is pass the actual TStringList itself to the callback, so I would suggest deriving a new class from TStringList to add extra fields to it, and then you can access those fields inside the callback, eg:
type
TMyStringList = class(TStringList)
public
Count1: Integer;
Count2: Integer;
end;
function Compare(List: TStringList; Index1, Index2: Integer): Integer;
...
p1 := GetPos(TMyStringList(List).Count1, 1);
p2 := GetPos(TMyStringList(List).Count2, 1);
...
begin
...
end;
...
List := TMyStringList.Create;
// fill List ...
List.Count1 := ...;
List.Count2 := ...;
List.CustomSort(Compare);
So you are performing searching for k-th occurence of Ch and substring creation at every comparison.
You can optimize this process - before sorting make list/array of stringlists, created from every string, separated by needed character - use DelimitedText.
Inside compare function just work with this array and column numbers - sadly, you have to define them as global variables in current unit (for example, after Form1: TForm1)

Insertion Sort - TStringList Delphi

i'm trying to sort TStringList of integers from a text file with Insertion and Selection Sort .Selection Sort works ok , but the Insertion Sort doesnt work with my code . Can someone tell me where i'm wrong ? My 'numbers.txt' has 5000 lines of numbers. Thanks in advance
UPDATE : I have edited my code a bit , it works now with Insertion-Sort but it sorts just 4 indexes of integer as on the image
var
i, Position, n: integer;
Value: string;
begin
n := Items.Count;
for i := 1 to n - 1 do
begin
Value := Items[i];
Position := i-1;
while (Position >0) and (Items[Position]>Value) do
begin
Items[Position+1]:= Items[Position] ;
Position := Position -1 ;
end;
Items[Position+1] := Value;
end;
end;
Your data in the image is sorting exactly as it should, because you're sorting on string values, and based on the comparison you're making the order is perfect. "1143" falls exactly between the string values "11413" and "11443", because the comparison is made character by character out to the length of the shortest of the values. "1141" < "1143" < "1144", based on the first four characters of each string.
If you want an actual integer sort, then you need to convert the two values to integer before comparing them. Something like this should work (note I did not test your overall sort logic - I just used values that demonstrate the concept):
program Project1;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
{$R *.res}
uses
System.SysUtils, System.Classes;
var
i, Position, n: integer;
Value: integer;
Items: TStringList;
begin
Items := TStringList.Create;
try
Items.DelimitedText := '1116,11170,11178,11206,1122,11221,11228';
n := Items.Count;
for i := 1 to n - 1 do
begin
Value := StrToInt(Items[i]);
Position := i - 1;
while (Position > 0) and (StrToInt(Items[Position]) > Value) do
begin
Items[Position + 1]:= Items[Position];
Position := Position - 1 ;
end;
Items[Position+1] := IntToStr(Value);
end;
for i := 0 to Items.Count - 1 do
WriteLn(Items[i]);
finally
Items.Free;
end;
ReadLn;
end.
The output I got from the code above in a console window:
1116
1122
11170
11178
11206
11221
11228

One row, multiple inputs?

In pascal, as you might know, you can assign multiple variables values in one single line (as long as you have variables to catch them in):
var x, y, z: integer;
readln(x, y, z, etc...);
But what if i wanted to have only one variable, which would sequentially recieve those values which sit, practically, in the void?
Let me explain:
Number of values?
>3 (for example)
Insert values:
4 6 9
Now, these values, would periodically be assigned to 'a' for example, and once i'm done with the number 4, i want it to recieve 6, and 9 afterwards. Is there any way i can do this?
In Extended Pascal, ISO 10206, you can do the following:
program lists(input, output);
procedure processList(length: integer);
var
list: array[1..length] of integer;
var
n: integer;
begin
writeLn('Insert ', length:1, ' values:');
for n := 1 to length do
begin
read(list[n]);
end;
{ Here you can further process `list` }
end;
var
n: integer;
begin
writeLn('Number of values?');
readLn(n);
processList(n);
end.
A better implementation uses schemata for this task:
program lists(input, output);
type
list(length: integer) = array[1..length] of integer;
var
n: integer;
l: ^list;
begin
writeLn('Number of values?');
readLn(n);
{ dynamically allocate memory for `l` }
new(l, n);
writeLn('Insert values:');
for n := 1 to l^.length do
begin
read(l^[n]);
end;
dispose(l);
end.
At compile-time undiscriminated schema data types can only be handled via pointers, which is always a little unpleasant for us programmers, but it works.

sorry for uncorrectly pattern post
, thank you so much.
Like tom Tom Brunberg says, my array is const, it can't be changed. Therefore I need to remove that const.
So it should be
data: Array [1..5] Of Integer = (value);
without const, and put it under var with another variable

How many times does one number divide into another, and how much is left over?

I need an algorithm in Delphi to generate partitions for a specified integer value.
Example: for 13 if 5 is specified as the max value for partition it will give 5,5,3; if 4 is specified as max partition value the result should be 4,4,4,1, and so on.
It's simple enough to solve the problem using div and mod. Here's an example program that I don't think needs any further explanation:
program IntegerPartitions;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
function Partitions(const Total, Part: Integer): TArray<Integer>;
var
Count: Integer;
Rem: Integer;
i: Integer;
begin
Assert(Total>0);
Assert(Part>0);
Count := Total div Part;
Rem := Total mod Part;
if Rem=0 then
SetLength(Result, Count)
else
SetLength(Result, Count+1);
for i := 0 to Count-1 do
Result[i] := Part;
if Rem<>0 then
Result[Count] := Rem;
end;
var
Value: Integer;
begin
for Value in Partitions(13, 5) do
Writeln(Value);
Readln;
end.
