ok I know how to use types fairly well but I am running into one main issue and I'm not sure if its resolvable

heres what I want to do
Turing:

type node :
record
x : int
y : int
parent : node
end record


Is it possible to do this? If so what code do I need to add?

Are you trying to make a linked list?

I think for this you have to use another construction, called collections. There are examples in the linked list tutorial.

I think you can still use type you just need a pointer :
Turing:
type node :
   record
      x : int
      y : int
      parent : ^node
   end record


But I no longer have Turing so I'm not sure. Smile

Yes that is correct, to declare a node you would have to do
Turing:

var moo : ^node
% Create a  new node and assign the memmory to the pointer
new moo


At the end
Turing:

% Free the memmory assigned
free moo

Yes I am trying to create a linked list thanks for all the help, that tutorial helped lots. I would have responded quicker to save some of you the trouble of posting but I was out. Sorry

Again thanks for the help
