I've been assigned a project and for additional marks have been asked to include a degree symbol, I've learned that this can be accomplished by holding alt and typing 0176 on the number pad, and it seems to work everywhere other than in Turing, am I doing something wrong? |

I suppose you can edit your source file elsewhere. You can also use chr(). The number for the degree symbol is probably dependent on the code page (likely Windows-1252). Take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252. |

176 is the ascii code of it, you need to use chr(176) to print it
the above is an example code that prints 5(degree symbol) |

The link I gave gives you 176 (yes). Also, there is no degree symbol in ASCII.
the above is an example code that prints 5(degree symbol) |

Alternatively, you can draw a small circle using drawoval. |
