Ok so i was suppose to do a program that reads a word for example color and coverts it into canadain aka colour. now this is my program, but i get one error. when i type "color" it outputs lour. any way to fix that?
code:
var word, z : string
var i : int
var x : int := 2
put "Enter a word of your choise "
get word
i := length (word)-1
z := word (* -2) + "our"
if word (* .. i) = "or" then
    put z
end if
put z

uh, I don't get it? what are you trying to do? Use it only on Colour?
code:

var word, z : string
var i : int
var x : int := 2
put "Enter a word of your choise "
get word
i := length (word)-1
z := word (1..4)+word(*)
 
put z

no i mean you write a word. if that words end with "OR" the program needs to change it to "our". i just made colour as an example

oh I see, you'd need something like this then
code:

var word: string
get word
if word ((length(word)-2)..*)="our" then
word:= word(1..(length(word)-2))+"r"
end if
put word

paulbian got it backwards, this is what it should be:

var word: string
get word
if word ((length(word)-1)..*)="or" then
word:= word(1..(length(word)-1))+"ur"
end if
put word
