Revision as of 03:27, 9 June 2018
- Task
Output 8 notes of the C major natural diatonic music scale to the default musical sound device on the system.
(These are the notes C,D,E,F,G,A,B,c or Do, Ra, Me, Fa, So, La, Te, do on the solfa.)
For the purpose of this task, middle C should be used as the starting note, and crotchet notes should be used.
For languages that cannot utilize a sound device,
it is permissible to output to a musical score sheet (or midi file),
or the task can be omitted.
AutoHotkey
<lang AutoHotkey>for key, val in [261.63, 293.66, 329.63, 349.23, 392.00, 440.00, 493.88, 523.25] SoundBeep, % val, 500</lang>
Befunge
Befunge has no sound support, so this example generates a MIDI file that plays the sequence of notes. The file is written to stdout, so requires an interpreter that can cleanly redirect its output to a file (for example the bef reference implementation requires the -q option to suppress its version banner).
The tune to be played is specified on the first line of the code. The notes are specified as MIDI note numbers in reverse order in a Befunge string (for example, Middle C is note number 60, which is the character "<"). This is followed by the count of notes in the string - 8 in this example.
<lang befunge>> "HGECA@><"8: v v0*73"MThd"0006010101"MTrk"000< >>#1-#,:#\_$8*74++,0,28*"'"039v v,:,\,*2,1"Hd":\<,,,,,,*3"U"*9< >"@1",2*,\,,1-:#^_"/3d",5*,,, @</lang>
C
Although C provides low level access to devices, there is no standardized way. Here are illustrated two approaches.
Borland's Turbo C
Borland's Turbo C system has the dos.h header file which contains the functions sound() and nosound(). sound() takes an argument which is the frequency of the note to be played through the device speaker. delay(), also part of dos.h tells the code how long to suspend execution. The sound will however still be playing. It is therefore essential to call nosound() at the end which ends the speaker output, otherwise the Turbo C (DOS) session will have to be ended.
<lang c>/*Abhishek Ghosh, 6th November 2013, Rotterdam*/
- include<stdio.h>
- include<conio.h>
- include<math.h>
- include<dos.h>
typedef struct{ char str[3]; int key; }note;
note sequence[] = {{"Do",0},{"Re",2},{"Mi",4},{"Fa",5},{"So",7},{"La",9},{"Ti",11},{"Do",12}};
int main(void) { int i=0;
while(!kbhit()) { printf("\t%s",sequence[i].str); sound(261.63*pow(2,sequence[i].key/12.0)); delay(sequence[i].key%12==0?500:1000); i = (i+1)%8; i==0?printf("\n"):printf(""); } nosound(); return 0; }</lang>
Windows C
I named it Windows C for want of a better name. This is actually more constrained than the above example, since although it will run on any Windows machine, Beep() can only play integer frequencies and thus the tones are noticeably lower than the ones played by sound() above.

Forth
As a low level stack language Forth programming methodology prefers short simple definitions that extend the language in the direction that allows you to solve the problem. The creation of application specific language is common in Forth. This demonstration code uses the PC speaker to generate musical tones. A simple device driver is created for hardware control via PORT I/O. A set of primitive operations are created to control the on:off times of the sounds. Then a small MUSIC language is created to create notes of different types. Finally 2 scales are created using "crotcheted notes" as they are called. We chose 1/8 notes. For fun we added the ability to change the expression of the notes using Italian musical terms. <lang>HEX \ PC speaker hardware control (requires giveio or DOSBOX for windows operation)

J

This assumes a version such as J6 which supports media/wav.
0=C, 1=C#, 2=D, ... of main octave
0.25 is the duration of each note (in seconds).
Kotlin
This uses the same frequencies and duration as the Python entry and works fine on Windows 10.
When building win32.klib from windows.h, one needs to make sure NOT to filter out utilapiset.h because this is where the Beep function now resides, not in winbase.h as stated in the MSDN documentation. <lang scala>// Kotlin Native v0.3

Programming note: The general 1-line subroutines at the end of the REXX program are boilerplate code which:
- check for invocation with a ? single argument to support general documentation (help).
- check for invocation with a ?SAMPLES single argument to support documentation for sample usages.
- check for invocation with a ?FLOW single argument to support documentation for program logic flow.
- check for invocation with a ?AUTHOR single argument to support showing the author of the REXX pgm.
- defines several !ααα variables indicating:
- name and version of the REXX interpreter being used.
- name of the program used to clear the terminal screen.
- name of the (host) operating system being used.
- name of the subsystem to issue commands (via address).
- name of the pool used to set environmental variables.
- name by which the REXX program was invoked.
- name by which the REXX program was loaded (executed).
- how the REXX program is being invoked:
- as a command
- as a function
- as a subroutine
