My CompSci teacher wanted me to "write a function that returns a larger of two numbers". I'm extremely new at Turing and wondering what needs to be done in order for this to work.

This is what I have right now, but it comes back with errors.

var num1, num2 :int
put "Enter two different numbers."
get num1
get num2

if num1 > num2 then
put num1

if num2 > num1 then
put num2

What does the error say?

It says "Syntax error at 'end of file'. Expected 'end if'.

you forgot to close your if statements with "end if"

Turing:

var num1, num2 :int
put "Enter two different numbers."
get num1
get num2

% just puts a blank line
put ""

% you're if statements weren't closed with an "end if"
if num1 > num2 then
put num1
end if % < always add after your if statement

if num2 > num1 then
put num2
end if % < here too



By the way everything after a "%" sign is a comment and ignored by the compiler

How would I make this program work using a function?

Do you know how to use functions at all?

The Turing Walkthrough has a pretty good guide on functions if you don't.
