----------------------------------- S_Grimm Wed Apr 30, 2008 11:54 am A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- Alright. I know that there must be a better way to exit a Turing Program than "quit", but I don't know it. Can anyone else perhaps, inform me what it is? (If I'm not crazy and a way does exist.) ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Apr 30, 2008 11:58 am RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- Have no more code to run. So exit your main loop such that there is no more code to run afterward. ----------------------------------- petree08 Wed Apr 30, 2008 12:08 pm RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- Window.Close (WinID) - F9 it ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Apr 30, 2008 3:22 pm Re: RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- Window.Close (WinID) - F9 it that's a better way to exit the program, how? ----------------------------------- Sean Wed Apr 30, 2008 3:25 pm RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- Window.Close just closes the created window and cancles, however I doubt that is what they wanted. ----------------------------------- darkangel Wed Apr 30, 2008 3:26 pm Re: A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- return also works, it stops the program dead in its tracks. ----------------------------------- Sean Wed Apr 30, 2008 3:30 pm RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- Or if it is in a loop, and something happens use exit ----------------------------------- syntax_error Wed Apr 30, 2008 4:34 pm RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- I truly detest the teaching of exit as the only way to get out of a loop, the best way taht should be taught is meeting the condition of the loop. no? ----------------------------------- S_Grimm Thu May 01, 2008 10:25 am RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- Sorry, I should have been more specific. The code goes something like this: CODE if (i = "yes") then QUESTIONS %Procedure that has been predefined%%% end if if (i = "no") then quit ************* This is the part I want to change end if END CODE ther are about 2 loops ahead of this statement, and exit didn't work (i tried) ----------------------------------- Clayton Thu May 01, 2008 11:17 am Re: RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- I truly detest the teaching of exit as the only way to get out of a loop, the best way taht should be taught is meeting the condition of the loop. no? Ummm... Let's say you have some condition that you need to obtain in a loop for exit: loop exit when [condition] end loop This is fine. But what if some form of computation needs to occur after that condition is true? Our code would now look like this: loop if [condition] then exit end if end loop In fact, the first code block is just syntactical sugar for: if [condition] then exit end if So what's the problem? ----------------------------------- petree08 Thu May 01, 2008 11:23 am RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- what i mean by Window.Close is that after the program is done it closes the window. I figured he wanted to know how to get the program to close the wnidow after the program. ----------------------------------- S_Grimm Thu May 01, 2008 11:40 am RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- I need to complete close the program if the answer is wrong. if it is right, the program goes on. ----------------------------------- Prince Pwn Thu May 01, 2008 12:19 pm RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- I don't have Turing with me but I know what you mean. It goes something like this: % instead of View.Set at the top of your program, do: var winID := Window.Open("graphics;400:500") % at the bottom Window.Close(winID) If you compile your program into an exe, you can check a box to "close program when finished". I know you can get it to close somehow, I did it before. If none of that works then keep trying something like that. ----------------------------------- Sean Thu May 01, 2008 2:09 pm Re: A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- He never once ment closing a window. As said before, he needs to exit or return as one of his conditions. If your code is in a loop, which it should be then: if i = "Yes" or i = "yes" then %Code else exit end if ----------------------------------- S_Grimm Mon May 05, 2008 10:51 am Re: A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- Yes it's in a loop. nestled within a loop so it's like this loop %More code above this get answer loop if answer = "yes" or answer = "Yes then exit elsif answer = "no" or answer = "No" then quit %I need to change this elsif answer not= "Yes" or answer not= "yes" or answer not= "no" or answer not= "No" then put "Incorect input. Please Re-Enter : ".. get answer end loop %more code end loop My problem is the second loop, the one for the entire program. "exit" will only exit the second loop, not the first loop. I need a way to exit BOTH loops at once. ----------------------------------- petree08 Mon May 05, 2008 11:08 am RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- var Quit : boolean loop %More code above this get answer loop if answer = "yes" or answer = "Yes then Quit := true exit elsif answer = "no" or answer = "No" then elsif answer not= "Yes" or answer not= "yes" or answer not= "no" or answer not= "No" then put "Incorect input. Please Re-Enter : ".. get answer end loop %more code exit when Quit end loop I can't believe you had to ask that ----------------------------------- Carey Mon May 05, 2008 1:26 pm RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- or you could just use return. return is usually used to get out of a procedure. if you call it when you are not in the middle of a procedure, it ends the program. If you have any questions PM me. ----------------------------------- S_Grimm Fri May 09, 2008 11:50 am RE:A better way then QUIT? ----------------------------------- thanks everyone
