Code:

code code code....bla bla
something=something..

Disp "1.",D
Disp "2.",B
Disp "3.",C
While 1
Input "Smallest Number",I
If I=1
Then
I->D
If I=2
Then
I=B
If I=3
Then
I->A
End
It'd be awesome to know what you are trying to accomplish.

Right off the bat:

Those If:Then:Code can be IF:Code, you can skip the Thens if you only have one line of executable code.

Doesn't seem to work.

Keeps on repeating "smallest number"

and if I add another "End" , it will stay stuck

Code:
Disp "1.",D 
Disp "2.",B 
Disp "3.",C 
While 1 
Input "Smallest Number",I 
If I=1
I->D 
If I=2
I=B 
If I=3 
I->A 
End


Well. Here is your code again. You basically have an infinite loop. While 1. While 1 what? While 1=9? While 1=C? 1 is unchanging, and thus 1 will always be true. Now, you could do While A. If A is defined, it's 1 and true. If A is undefined, it's 0 and false. The loop will only continue while the criteria is true. You could do While not(A, so that way the loop quits only if A becomes defined.

That infinite loop is why you keep getting the smallest number prompt. You need to find a way to end the loop.

Fix the typos in your code, xologist. At the moment, it's nonsensical.

We can't help you if you don't help us; contrary, I don't see any typos unless Weregoose is referring to a non-traditional typo, here it would be the infinite loop. I find it best to figure out a way to properly leave the loop and then work on optimizing it. Which, I think is better left for the end so you aren't trying to understand two things at the same time.

If you need some more help understanding While loops, that's fine and I'll be happy to help but I'm not going to provide you the answer to your problem. If you get it close, however, I'll show you and hopefully you'll be able to discern your mistake(s) by comparing the two.

In a scene featuring the parser and If-Then-End, the parser floats about in a bubble and encounters a smaller pocket bubble, which it may only penetrate provisionally. If it may enter, then it plunges in, undergoes a mini-exploration, then ends its trip by slipping back into the outer bubble from whence it came. Is your parser entering and escaping these sub-bubbles in an order which makes sense (chrono-)logically?

@comicIDIOT: I'm fairly sure his I→A was to be an I→C (and his I=B an I→B), but I like to make-believe that we're not mind-readers.

Oh man. I totally overlooked those.
