delay (1000)
cls
put "How old are you?"
get age
delay (1000)
cls
put "How many hours did you work this week?"
get tim
delay (1000)

if tim >= 50 then
put "You work to much"
end if
put "How many dollars do you make per hour?"
get wag
delay (1000)
cls
pay := wag * tim
put nam, " you will be getting a pay of ", pay, "$ this pay check"

this is probably for school, eh? dont worry, i helped you out. yor vaiables wag and tim are set as real numbers. just reser the varibale type to integers, and it runs.

here, ill repost the code for ya.
code:
colorback (brightpurple)
cls
var nam : string
var age : int
var wag : int % this used to be var wag : real
var tim : int % thi used to be var tim : real
var pay : int
loop
put "Hello what is your name?"
get nam
delay (1000)
cls
put "How old are you?"
get age
delay (1000)
cls
put "How many hours did you work this week?"
get tim
delay (1000)
cls
if tim >= 50 then
put "You work to much"
end if
put "How many dollars do you make per hour?"
get wag
delay (1000)
cls
pay := wag * tim
put nam, " you will be getting a pay of ", pay, "$ this pay check"
put "For the ", tim, " hours that you have worked"
put "This program will restart in 10 seconds"
end loop[\code]

The reason why you have to change it from ' : real ' to ' : int ' is because an integer (int) has to be a whole number.

So, since an int has to be a whole number then this should work, right?

code:

var R : real

R := 10

var I : int

I := R
But why doesn't this work?

My theory is, that the programmers of Turing were too lazy to check when an integer variable is added by (or made value of) a real number, if the number is whole or not.
So instead what you have to do is round the number first.
code:

var R : real

R := 10

var I : int

I := round(R)

'round ()' converts a real number into an integer acceptable number. Doesn't make sense sometimes but neither do a lot of things.

** So, 'round ()' also works for other commands that require integer values. Such as any of the 'Draw' commands. You CAN use real numbers in the command, you just have to use 'round (real)' instead of just putting your 'real' variable. **

I hope this made sense Smile

Oh, and use more meaningful variable names. This isn't BASIC where you are limited on variable name length, and I think even that allowed more than 3 letters Smile.

To fix this turn your 'int's to 'real's

Woah woah, dont diss the pink. Just because you joined compsci on my birthday doesn't mean you can knock on a pink background.
