Symbols using ASCII codes.

-----------------------------------

I've been assigned a project and for additional marks have been asked to include a degree symbol, I've learned that this can be accomplished by holding alt and typing 0176 on the number pad, and it seems to work everywhere other than in Turing, am I doing something wrong?

You can also use chr().  The number for the degree symbol is probably dependent on the code page (likely Windows-1252).  Take a look:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252.

176 is the ascii code of it, you need to use chr(176) to print it


 put "5", chr(176)

the above is an example code that prints 5(degree symbol)

Alternatively, you can draw a small circle using drawoval.
