Hi! I was given an assignment by my teacher to make a simple Turing program, but it has to be bulletproof. I have to get 2 numbers from the user and output the sum and product however, it cannot crash if the user enters a alphabetic value. Here is my code so far var num1, num2 : real loop put " Choose a number, any number. " get num1 put " Again, enter a number different from the first. " get num2 put " The sum of your two numbers are : ", num1 + num2, " The product of your numbers are " , num1*num2 end loop as you can see it is simple, but i cannot find the functions/ don't know how to use them to make this bulletproof (PS this is my first year of Programing) Thank you. |

Look into strint and strintok. Also you may also need to declare a couple temp variables. |

I don't know where to put the functions either, and how to declare a temporary value, we only learned the built in functions yesterday. |

Why is this not in one of the Turing forums? |

look into ord and chr for turning numbers into characters and vice-versa |

What do you mean by bullet proof? I may be able to help. |

by "Bulletproof", it's simply a term used to describe having a program not be able to be crashed by something a user does. In this case, he needs to ensure that when the user enters num1 and num2, they are in fact only integers. if they contain an alphanumeric value, it will crash. Use this to help solve your problem:

I broke it,some unicode characters can make it go nighty night,but still its pretty damn sturdy |

It only accepts values in the ASCII range (0, 255). Strings are just arrays of characters, which is the data type use by the get statement. |
