Hey i wanted to do something when i make it say What is my name and then some one has to answer corectly to say corect and if wrong then say incorrect. I am totaly new to turing im starting to learn in school and i want to atleast kno this. All i kno is like % blablabla is comments and put and get but im not too sure like how to use them like with int and everything plzz help! and 1 more thing i wanted to kno how to get back to main like screen so i dont have to close the turing thing and click run again. TY also i dont want some 1 to give me the code and say here you go did it for you... if you can plz try to explain like i tried to do %Brandon % october 15 2009 var 1 = int put "Hello! " put "Answer the questions corectly " get im totaly lost and dont think this makes sense whatsoever so plz help!

Okay, well here is a summary of different functions: put - you can write stuff to the screen get - you can get input from the user (this includes strings, ints, etc.) int - an integer type. It holds only non-decimal numbers loop - you can have certain parts of your code loop around until some kind of condition is met (in your case, they guess the right age) If you need more help with the functions, look them up in the Turing help (press F10 in Turing) and then write out (in plain English) every step it will take to do this. Then you can easily turn that into Turing code.

if (statement) else (statement) those two will enable you to make a Q&A game

ok i re typed it put "Question and Answer Game" var n : string put "What is my name?" get n if n = "brandon" then put "correct" else put "wrong" end if put is puting out like a comment but visual (no code_ the variable im not too sure about also nto too sure about the string from what i understand get n is getting the variable and saying if n = my name theh (type correct of w/e) else meaning if it is sumthing else type "error" and the end if is ending the if statement

Post subject:	RE:How to make A question and answer game?
good job. Thats how you code! Just 2 things. you can have spaces in a get statement...meaning the _ is unnecessary you can use a space. also If you want....you don't need the else statement and error. The else statement waits form anything that happens that doesn't follow the rules set above. (your if statement) you can just remove it. BUT if you want to keep it try to make the put statement more decriptive. such as. put "You have failed to input the wrong text. Please restart the program and this time read the directions.)

good idea . and how do you write your code in code box. and when i try put a space in if statement i get an error no matter what.

Post subject:	RE:How to make A question and answer game?
oh and another thing i realized i dunno if you downloaded my trivia thing but even if i enter the wrong answer is still asks next question? would i somehow need to enter a statements on each 1 saying end if its wrong?

When there are no more lines left, it will automatically stop. he wanted it to close if someone made a mistake along the way not just at the end.
