The task is to write a small program that emulates a nautical bell producing a ringing bell pattern at certain times throughout the day. The bell timing should be in accordance with Greenwich Mean Time, unless locale dictates otherwise.
It is permissible for the program to daemonize, or to slave off a scheduler, and it is permissible to use alternative notification methods (such as producing a written notice "Two Bells Gone"), if these are more usual for the system type.
D
This code uses local time instead of Greenwich Mean Time. <lang d>import std.stdio, core.thread, std.datetime;
class NauticalBell : Thread {
private bool stopped; // shared?
this() { super(&run); }
void run() { uint numBells; auto time = cast(TimeOfDay)Clock.currTime(); auto next = TimeOfDay();
void setNextBellTime() { next += minutes(30); numBells = 1 + (numBells % 8); }
while (next < time) setNextBellTime();
while (!this.stopped) { time = cast(TimeOfDay)Clock.currTime(); if (next.minute == time.minute && next.hour == time.hour) { auto bells = (numBells == 1) ? "bell" : "bells"; writefln("%s : %d %s ", time, numBells, bells); setNextBellTime(); } sleep(dur!"msecs"(100)); yield(); } } void stop() { this.stopped = true; }
}
void main() {
auto bells = new NauticalBell(); //bells.isDaemon(true); bells.start();
}</lang>
- Output:
09:30:00 : 3 bells 10:00:00 : 4 bells 10:30:00 : 5 bells 11:00:00 : 6 bells 11:30:00 : 7 bells 12:00:00 : 8 bells 12:30:00 : 1 bell 13:00:00 : 2 bells
REXX
The local time is used instead of Greenwich mean time.
If any arguments are specified, that text is used as a prefix to the times shown (once a minute). Also, the number of bells sounded are shown (if any arguments are specified). If no arguments are specified, no times are shown. In all cases, the PC speaker is used to sound the bells (albeit a poorly sounded bell).
This REXX program makes use of DELAY
BIF, which delays (sleeps) for a specified amount of seconds (some REXXes doen't have a DELAY
BIF, so one is included here), and SOUND
BIF, which produces sounds via the PC speaker (some REXXes doen't have a SOUND
BIF, so one is included here).
