For example, if the value of number is 547, the fragment should print. HINT use the mod function to determine the last digit, then use the case statement to select the appropraite message. ----------------------------------- andrew.

(mod is the remainder after the number is divided by 10) the case is for the result that comes after the number is modded by 10. for example: letz pick an odd number: 99 99 mod 10 is 9 label 9: put "The last digit is ", number , so the last digit is then outputted by label 9. The last digit is 9 letz pick an even number: 100 100 mod 10 is 0 label 0: put "The last digit is ", number , so the last digit is then outtputted by label 0. The last digit is 0 hope this helps 8-) ----------------------------------- The_Bean Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:15 pm Re: turing - help w digit sensing ----------------------------------- The question asks you to output the last number as a word not an integer. You can easily fix your case statement to do this. ----------------------------------- comp_help Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:30 pm Re: turing - help w digit sensing ----------------------------------- The question asks you to output the last number as a word not an integer.

The_Bean u are right but as you said this can be easily fixed , so itz not a huge prob. :wink: ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:35 pm Re: RE:turing - help w digit sensing ----------------------------------- An explaination of the soution What I was getting at, is that every case results in the same outcome, and every possible case is covered. So why even have the case block? get number put "The last digit is ", number mod 10 ----------------------------------- andrew. Wed Nov 19, 2008 6:28 pm RE:turing - help w digit sensing ----------------------------------- Instead of putting the numbers in the case block, make it actually say the number like: label 0: put "The last digit is zero." label 1: put "The last digit is one." ... ... ...
