It was the variables
they needed to be reals like u said

What is it you are trying to achieve? I am trying to make this procedure but it always errors on me!!! What is the problem you are having? var Celsius, Fahrenheit : int const Celsius_to_Fahrenheit := 9/5 + 32 procedure p_input put "Enter the temperature in Celsius:" get Celsius end p_input procedure p_process Fahrenheit := Celsius * Celsius_to_Fahrenheit put "" end p_process procedure p_output put "Farenheit value is:" put Fahrenheit end p_output p_input p_process p_output after Fahrenheit := Celsius * Celsius_to_Fahrenheit it errors on Celsius_to_Fahrenheit or ANYTHING I put there :'( Describe what you have tried to solve this problem I have tried to change the value and the * sign to + or - Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) <Answer Here>
Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1.1 |

well, first of all look at your constant. It is just a value = 9/5+32 = 169/5 rather than a formula which is what you need. Also, your variables are integers but in the majority of cases are supposed to be reals. I think that should be enough to help you find your problems. The procedures themselves are not your issue |

Would you like to maybe explain why it needs to be a real? if not thats fine I would just like the knowledge so I dont run into this again  |

an integer value is just whole numbers, no decimal points, where as a real value has decimal points. So when multiplying the Celcius by (9/5), it gives you a number with decimal points, which is why you need a real value. |

In general for turing number types you have ints and reals. The difference between the 2 is as follows. int - as it says, it is an integer. This means positive or negative values that contain 0 decimal places. eg. -1,5,20,-86 etc. real - also self explanatory, a real number. This is any positive or negative number that has no imaginary components (if you aren't in grade 11 yet, then any number that you have used in math class) eg. 5.5, 3.3333, 8.12345 etc Keep in mind what types of values you want to have in your programming which type of variable you use. Celsius and Fahrenheit are values that can be non integer and so must be defined as real. Look up the different types for variables that you can use so you can choose the best type for your purposes in your programs. |

Yea I just hit grade 11 and am in computer programming, thanks for the help I'm 3 chapters ahead so my peers cant help and the teacher is busy helping others move past var/cont type : int  and ya I knew ints and reals I was just being an idiot and didnt realize but thanks for pointing that out for me! |

I have 1 last question you may be able to help with. In this program I need to say if (sum >10 and < 19) then put "your number is between 10 and 19" end if How can I do this with the knowledge of , procedures, variables, const, and all the small stuff between that? |

basically as you just stated. Just remember both sides of every condition need a value and check if you want <= or >=. No need for constants, procedures, etc. A single variable that you get (again make sure you have the correct type) and then an if statement checking if it is in a range. |

But... sum > 10 and < 19 errors on me? so I thought it had to be done a different way? |

like I said both sides of the condition need a value. condition 1 there is sum > 10 condition 2 there is < 19 you just have to learn to think as the computer thinks. the and is the start of another condition. or does the same thing. |

Can this be done all in one if statement? because It needs to be all in 1 if statement :/

procedure p_process sum := value * value if (sum <= 10) then category := " a number less than 10" end if if (sum) then%I want it all to occur in this one if statement end if end p_process becomes if value*value <= 10 then category := " a number less than 10" elsif next condition elsif ... else (whatever your final possible result is) If you have more questions, look in the Turing Documentation first before posting. Also, look at things you could change into 1 line such as assigning a variable and then looking at it only once and that is in an if. |
