Forgot to add... in a more complex program where this calculation is just a small-part you might use something like a Semaphore to signal between different threads. cheers -ben On Mon, 10 Dec 2018 at 06:10, Ben Coman <btc@openinworld.com> wrote:
This is running the calculation in a new Process (in general terms, our "Process"es are "green-threads"). You can't "return" values between threads. You need to pass it some other way through a variable. If you put that code into an instance method, then you could store the result in a class-variable. Change the Transcript to ```self inform: 'FInished' ``` and then have a different method you call after you see that to return the answer.

Hello,
I got this code from the discord channel
secret := 'abcdef'. zeros := '000'. zerosSize := zeros size. count := 0. [ [ candidate := secret , count printString. ((MD5 hashMessage: candidate) hex first: zerosSize) = zeros ] whileFalse: [ (count \\ 10000) = 0 ifTrue: [ Transcript crShow: count ]. count := count + 1. ]. Transcript crShow: 'ANSWER = ' , count printString. ] forkAt: 35 named: 'Mining'
but I like that there is no transcipt in the code
so my question is how can I change this part( Transcript crShow: 'ANSWER = ' , count printString. )
so it still returns the count.
I tried ^count printstring but that is not allowed

Helllo,
a question about day4 of 2015 is it right that I can only solve this bruteforece so begin at for example 1 , encode it, check for 5 zeros if found then I have found it otherwise increase the counter and do it again https://adventofcode.com/2015/day/4
