What is it you are trying to achieve? turing age calculator What is the problem you are having? how to make a turing age calculator? Describe what you have tried to solve this problem the user has to enter year of birth,month and date Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) thanks!
Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1.1 |

The code you posted doesn't compile, I suggest you have a close look at it, you are missing a few expressions for a working program. Jokes aside, please show us what you've tried, we wont do your homework for you but we'll be happy to help you with an difficulties you encounter. Criticism aside, try to think about how you would approach the problem given this information and a pencil and paper (mathematically). Then try to translate this into Turing. Example: I tell you I was born on May 17 1932, how old am I? How did you figure it out? What basic steps (math) were involved? |

var age, year : int % your variables put "Please enter your year of birth: " .. % prompts the user for the task get year % gets the year of birth and stores it in this variable age := 2012 - year % assuming they already aged this year % otherwise you can just edit the code to make it so it displays exact age put "You are now ", age, " years old!"; There, i hope thats what you were looking for. |
