What is it you are trying to achieve? Create a program that tests you with basic arithmetic (addition & subtraction). It will give you the option of how many questions, difficulty, and the operatino (addition or subtraction) What is the problem you are having? I am getting "syntax errors" (i do not know why because end is spelled right :S) also i do not know how to put the user back to the beginning after they are done (y/n question maybe) Describe what you have tried to solve this problem Everything I currently know Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) setscreen ("graphics:600;600") var nq,n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6,x,y,o,add,sub,s,user : int add := + sub := - s := 0 var dif,correct,wrong : string correct := "*CORRECT*" wrong := "-WRONG-" %Easy randint (n1,1,5) randint (n2,5,10) %Easy %Medium randint (n3,10,15) randint (n4,15,20) %Medium %Hard randint (n5,20,25) randint (n6,25,30) %Hard Text.LocateXY (200,600) put "[WELCOME TO MATH PRACTICE] V.1" loop Text.LocateXY (0,550) put "How many questions would you like?" get nq put "What difficulty would you like? (easy,medium,hard)" get dif if dif = "easy" then x := n1 y := n2 end if if dif = "medium" then x := n3 y := n4 end if if dif = "hard" then x := n5 y := n6 Text.LocateXY (0,500) put "What operation would you like to practice? (add = 1,sub = 0)" get o if o = 1 then o := add s := + end if if o = 0 then o := sub s := - end if put "let's begin" put y,s,x get user if user = y,s,x then put correct else put wrong end if exit when nq = nq end loop [/syntax] Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1.1 |

Take all your code, ident it. And look at the last line of code. It shouldn't be indented (meaning you forgot a closing end __ somewhere). Hint: The syntax error is being called since it's attempting to close a statement of a different type. Like so: loop ... end if |

F2 or click the big grey button---v [Run] [Pause] [Open] [Save] [Indent] Oh man there's more once you finish that... get o Returns a string so your if conditions would need to be "1" instead of 1. sub := - What's your logic with this? Positive or Negative? Integers require a number, not an operator or range ie. (-infinity, 0) or (0, inifinity) aka Negative or Postive. if user = y, s, x then This won't work because of the above. It also isn't a boolean comparison to begin with. Both sides of the comparison must be numbers, the comma is used to join strings together. Though it isn't even usable inside an if statement either. Basically you need to do this mathematically. Here's a hint how you could posibly salvage your code though. y + (1)*x = y + 1x = y + x y + (-1)*x = y + -1x = y - x |

If you want, you can have random equations like so...
This isn't a correct way to do it, just a hint of what to do. |

Can i get THE correct way to do it, i am confused =_= |

Did you find the missing end __ statement? And if so, post your updated code. |

Alright i got it now i have another problem: It will not run the questions the number of times the user inputs. It will only run 1 question and end after it is answered. CODE: _____________________________ setscreen ("graphics:600;600") var nq, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, x, y, o, user, ccounter, wcounter,counter : int nq := 0 ccounter := 0 wcounter := 0 counter := 0 var dif, correct, wrong : string correct := "*CORRECT*" wrong := "-WRONG-" %Easy randint (n1, 1, 5) randint (n2, 5, 10) %Easy %Medium randint (n3, 10, 20) randint (n4, 15, 25) %Medium %Hard randint (n5, 20, 40) randint (n6, 25, 45) %Hard Text.LocateXY (200, 600) put "[WELCOME TO MATH PRACTICE] V.1" put "How many questions would you like?" get nq loop counter += 1 Text.LocateXY (0, 550) put "What difficulty would you like? (easy,medium,hard)" get dif if dif = "easy" then x := n1 y := n2 end if if dif = "medium" then x := n3 y := n4 end if if dif = "hard" then x := n5 y := n6 end if Text.LocateXY (0, 500) put "What operation would you like to practice? (add = 1,sub = 0,multi = 2)" get o if o = 1 then Text.LocateXY (0, 400) put "[ADDITION] Please complete" put x, " + ", y get user if user = x + y then put correct ccounter := ccounter + 1 else put wrong wcounter := wcounter + 1 exit when counter = nq end if end if if o = 0 then Text.LocateXY (0, 400) put "[SUBTRACTION] Please complete" put y, " - ", x get user if user = y - x then put correct ccounter := ccounter + 1 else put wrong wcounter := wcounter + 1 put counter exit when counter = nq end if end if Text.LocateXY (300, 300) put "NUMBER OF QUESTIONS RIGHT" put ccounter Text.LocateXY (300, 250) put "NUMBER OF QUESTIONS WRONG" put wcounter end loop ____________________ |

Are you SURE it ends? It is actually asking the user what difficulty they would like again, but it did not clear what was there before, so its hard to see that it is waiting for input. In fact, if your user's last question is correct then it goes on forever. |

For future reference, syntax highlighting for code makes it easy to read.

The best way to make it readible is to indent each block of code accordingly. Although this can be done in Turing with the tab key, you'd have to do it manually here using the space key (1 tab indent = 4 spaces [typically]). This way, it is easy to determine whether we are closing blocks properly or not.

mods could you please add syntax tags to this thanks 
There is a crazy glitch in your program in hard multiplication You should check it out Next time you program, comment more to help yourself and those helping you. This program is very inefficient and glitchy. You should improve on this and maybe add GUI |

Why not go to my computer engineering teacher's web site and do the tutorials. Click me The tutorials include: - Turing - Java - Python - MIPS - Electronics Tasks included |

Before you post your code, in Turing press F2 to auto-indent. Also, check out other posts on the forums for tutorials and view source code in the submissions section and study how they work. Also, check out the above teachers website and you can also check out my old teachers site: www.mrkurz.ca. Google Chrome points out a warning and I e-mailed him about it but his site is safe. |
