I have a grade 10 computer class and we're using Turing. I've done 6 questions and I don't know what to do on these 3 questions questions. 1) Calculating the cost of a pizza: Each pizza has the following fixed costs: Labor cost: 0.75 Rent cost: 1 per pizza Then you need to add the cost of the material used as follows: Material: 0.05*diameter*diameter (in inches) User enters the size of the pizza in inches and total cost is calculated by computer. 2)The user enters a two-digit number, computer shows each digit separately. Example: user enters 23 Computer shows: First digit is: 2 Second digit is: 3 Thank you in advance. |

There should have been a template for you to show us your attempt, and describe exactly what the problem is. Quote: I don't know what to do. is not even a question. |

I don't know what to do is implying that I have no idea how to do the questions. I can't show my attempts because we were doing it in class and of course you might know that all works are saved in my school's computer and I can't access them unless I'm in school. |

You must have some idea... after all, you've already jandes @ Fri Oct 10, 2014 2:59 pm wrote: I've done 6 questions
And for the remainder of the questions, you know at least how to add, right? Labor + rent is
All that's left is to add in the cost of materials. The questions typically describe exactly what needs to be done Quote: step 1 - user enters 2 digit number (e.g. 23) step 2 - Computer shows (to start, anything at all!) step 3 - First digit (e.g. 2) step 4 - Second digit (e.g. 3) You can get through steps 1 and 2 with get and put, and once again you are half way through the problem. You also know exactly what to do next, and can ask specifically about that. |

Thanks. I think I can do the first question. I still don't get how the turing will separate the 2 digits. |

Hint for that question -- division and remainder. It's just pure math. |
