ok, i know what it is now. i need a program that allows to me ask 2 question on the run screen, then the computer adds the 2, and gives out the sum. this is what i've got. var num : int put "enter a number between 1 and 5" get num put "the number you entered is", num now how do i ask this question again? when i copy and paste, they said i have an eror. after, what do i do to let the computer add the sum, and say "the sum of the 2 numbers you entered is..." then the computer should ask if this is what the viewer wanted. press 1 if it is, press 2 if it's not. if not, the program starts over again. |

you should write down what errors you get. |

when i type it twice, my error is here. var num : int put "enter a number between 1 and 5" get num put "the number you entered is", num var num : int put "enter a number between 1 and 5" get num put "the number you entered is", num i think it's there. |

You declared num twice. Remove the second declaration or change the variable names. |

if you are looking for two different numbers, chances you that you want two different variables to store their value. |

you have var num : int put "enter a number between 1 and 5" get num put "the number you entered is", num when you copy and paste this, change it to var num2 : int put "enter a number between 1 and 5" get num2 put "the number you entered is", num2 you need to different variable names. you can't declare two different variables with the same name. to add it together you can create a third variable that adds the two numbers or just use "put" to write what the two numbers add to |

that would be the coding for also outputting the answer. |

or you could make a third variable var sum : int sum := num + num2 put sum[/list][/quote][/list] |

This is so unbelievably basic that it needs no explanation. Didn't your teacher go over this yet? |

yes, you could do that, but he needs the most basic answer. Ya, i'm in grade 9, and my teacher went over this the third class, so his teacher must be doing it completely different. |

Is there anything one can do that doesn't in any way refer to such basic principles of programming but still teaches it? I think some one has told you this before, but go over the basic things in the Turing Walkthrough and problems like these will become incredibly simple to you. Furthermore, if you run into problems, try and work something out on your self. If you tinkered with the code, you could easily have completed this on your own. |

Ya, i'm in grade 9, and my teacher went over this the third class, so his teacher must be doing it completely different. it's because this is not our main thing. we never really went over this. we just got a booklet, did the booklet in 3 days all by ourselfs, then we were doing something else. it's a computer engineer class, so we build circuits, and made a joy stick. but i'll have computer science next semester so i'll prabably learn all about this. |

how do i add a space between "is" and the number? cause right now, after i type in my number, it is saying "the number you entered is1" and how do i add a blank line between my first and second. right now, it's "the number you entered is1 enter a number between 1 and 5" i'm looking for some space between those 2 |

for spaces, just add an extra space, so "the number you entered is " to add an extra line, you can either output a blank like
or use a special new-line character \n |

and 1 last question, at the end, i need to ask the view if the answer is what they wanted. press 1 if yes, press 2 if no. if yes, it will be outputted to the parallel port on the 7-degit segment, if no, the system will start over. does anyone know how to do that, or can tell me which one of the tutorials i should read to find out? i think this is an infinite loop right? |

well, i've read the loop and for loop tutorial. it said that i can have an "exit" so i can tell the computer to only exit when 1 is pressed, which means it'll exit when people say yes and keep going if people press 2, which is no. but when i say exit when people press 1, will the sum of the 2 number still be outputted to the parallel port and show on my 7-segment counter? and i still don't knwo how to ask the viewer to "press 1 if this is what you wanted, press 2 if this is not what you wanted. if yes, it will be displayed, if no, it will start over" |

So.. You are right with the exit, when...
And to tell them to select it, put a put statement with your instruction on how to end and continue. |

Just add a cls at the end I believe, on a computer without Turing installed, going to check on other machine aswell. Hopefully it is all in a loop. |

Need to write nothing for 2, just type 2 in since it doesn't equal 1 then it clears screen and re-does the loop. |

wait, this is not right. when i use the exit thing, it said it needs to equal 1. but when i ask the question, it isn't adding nothing. the view just need to press 1 or 2. this is what i've got. loop var num : int put "enter a number between 1 and 5 " get num put "the number you entered is " , num put " " var num2 : int put "enter a number between 1 and 5 " get num2 put "the number you entered is " , num2 put " " var sum : int sum := num + num2 put "the sum of the 2 numbers are ", sum put"if this number what you wanted?" exit when num = 1 end loop after the sum part, i just need to ask a question, the view press 1 or 2, and the computer will work accordingly |

after put"if this number what you wanted?" you need a get statement. in the code you have written, you would want to "get" num however you have num declared earlier. perhaps you might want to include a different variable. so you should declare a different variable, let's say x, earlier. |

yay, i got it 
loop var num,ans : int put "enter a number between 1 and 5 " get num put "the number you entered is " , num put " " var num2 : int put "enter a number between 1 and 5 " get num2 put "the number you entered is " , num2 put " " var sum : int sum := num + num2 put "the sum of the 2 numbers are ", sum put "if you want to exit, press 1, if you wanna redo it, press 2" get ans exit when ans = 1 cls end loop ^just courious, but after the view say, yes, it is what we want, and press 1, and the program stops, will the sum(say the sum is 4) be put in the prarllel port and into my 7-segment counter? it's just a screen that'll show 4, or w.e. the sum is on a bread board. |

iight, for my program above, and i ran it, it gave me this. enter a number between 1 and 5 2 the number you entered is 2 enter a number between 1 and 5 3 the number you entered is 3 the sum of the 2 numbers are 5 if you want to exit, press 1, if you want to redo it, press 2" 1 iight, for the above part, how do i change the bolded part to something like 2 + 3 = 5. like, instead of just saying the sum of the 2 numbers are 5, i would like it to show the steps. anyone know how to do that? |

you mean to actually display 2 + 3? well the same way as you did with displaying the number

Instead of using a number for an exit, like 1 and 2 , you can make Yes or No as your User Responses.. Just changing your ans variable to a string and say..
Also I suggest changing your number variables to reals. Because your adding can have decimals, integers are any positve or negative whole numbers, where real can be positive and negative, whole or decimal numbers. |

i need HELP i have written this program in class, i have done what the teacher asked us for. The program just adds two numbers and shows the answer. BUT i need to add one thing i don't know HOW? ok here is my story, , in computer engineering first we build a counter by using a 7 segment ship. after that i need to use the program below in order to show the sum of the answer of the cicuit or the ship. SO if the answer is 7. then on the 7 segment it will show the number 7. basicly i don't know how to use parallelporting so plz can anyone help me  |
