loop question

Post subject:	loop question
i've checked the manual and stuff but im still not sure how to do this, i know a few other languages, like C++, java ect, and they all have "while loops" so it loops until something equals something else, how do you do that in turing? and, how do you make it so a new variable is created every time? like i have to make something that asks how many courses you have this semester, then it will ask you what you got in each one and find the average, but i dont know how to make a new variable for each mark, if you are asked how many courses you have

Eh? I think you want to use a for..end for, and an array.

code:

var courses:int

get courses

var grade:array of int 1..courses

for i:1..courses
get grade(i)
end for

Is that what you wanted? (note: I haven't used turing in a while, my code code be off by a bit)

Do you want

code:

exit when

code:

var ha :int
loop
get ha
exit when ha = 5
end loop

then u have to create an array

code:

var times:int
put "how many marks to enter?"
get times

var lala : array 1..times of int

% this part is just in case the user skips a turn
for ii:1..times
lala(ii) := 0
end for

for i:1..times
put "Enter the number ", i ," mark."
get lala (i)
end for

for b:1..times
put "The number ",b, " mark is ",lala (b)
end for

Turing has while loops o.o; I think been a while since I turcoded but I am uite sure it does o.o;

Turing does not have while loops

I'm just wondering, is there anyway to create arrays or chnage it like depends on how many numbers the user entered, teh number of arrays are created. using loops and blah blah 8) 8)

sure it does

Turing:

exit when not(condition)
end loop

Not to be rude but if you already know some java and C++ why are you leanring turing Turing is only good if you don't know any other language at teh time If it is a school course talk to your teacher about advancing your skills not back tracking 8)

Turing is great if u've never done ne programming in the past, like me
