Unknown Error?

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

Hey.
While in the middle of programming my culminating activity for school I got a weird error.
A completely new window pops up and many characters pop up..
From what I see there's no error in the program.
Anyone willing to help me with this?
Thank you in advance.

Perhaps post your code? It is hard to help with no specific detail. :)

I've looked over it and I do not get any errors, I did notice though you were missing a ":=" on one of the variables when defining a price.

The program should be rewritten to be more efficient.

May I recommend using Array's?

Edit* 1
The program is pretty basic am I right? Why go through all the trouble to make a basic plain program. If you are new to turing there is a section that can help you incredibly which can be found here

cls


For more information on CLS, look for it through Turing's documentations located [url=http://www.compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc]HERE

I think this is just a panic error, it happens from time to time (turing is far from perfect). Check where turing is installed or where your file is installed for a file called panic.log, if you find it then the panic error is your problem.

I am not aware of any solution other than to save often :\

Once turing freezes, which I guarantee will happen on Windows, it will create a panic.log with all of your turing crash info.

Like the post above me, save often.

Thanks
I opened up the program in a earlier version of Turing and it worked fine, thanks for you help !
