What is it you are trying to achieve? I am trying to make an asterisk move across the screen on a certain row. What is the problem you are having? Unfortunately I am very confused on how to do this. If anybody can help me then please do. |

Use a for loop and the locate (x, y) command. Hint: use the for loop variable for x 1..10 x being the for loop variable |

Let me rephrase the question. How would I make a turing program that asks the user to input the row number, and the output of the program is an asterisk moving across the screen on the row that was entered. |

You can use the same answer that I gave before. I know exactly what you want, and it can be done in six lines of code. |

Could you please post the code, and explain what is happening in every line, so that I can understand what each line does. This will enhance my knowledge of turing. I am new to turing so I am not so sure what to do. If you could help me out I would be grateful. |

Why not ask your teacher? Or try it? I will not post complete code for you. |

I just want to point out that you can use variables as parameters in your for loop. So this is totally valid:
