So here.... What is it you are trying to achieve? Making a multiple choise exam in turing What is the problem you are having? Cannot start the program and cant make it work Describe what you have tried to solve this problem I have tried using different ways of using " if " and " elsif " and it dident work Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) % The multiple choise exam % User choose one of the 4 possiable answers for each question var answer: char var point: real var a, b, c, d: char point := 0 put "This is a science exam consisting of 20 questions. Please select the most correct answer for each question." put "Question Number #1" put "What is the last planet in the solor system" put "a) Venus" put "b) Pluto" put "c) Mars" put "d) Jupiter" get answer if answer= a then put "WRONG!" if answer= b then put "WRONG!" if answer= c then put "WRONG!" else put "CORRECT!" end if end if end if Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.0.3 ----------------------------------- Tallguy Mon May 25, 2009 8:36 am Re: Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- if answer= "a" forgot the " " for when the user chooses an answer ----------------------------------- animeanime Mon May 25, 2009 8:42 am Re: Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- Ok, what if I want it to be something like this? % The multiple choise exam % User choose one of the 4 possiable answers for each question var answer: char var point: real var a, b, c, d: char point := 0 put "This is a science exam consisting of 20 questions. Please select the most correct answer for each question." put "Question Number #1" put "What is the last planet in the solor system" put "a) Venus" put "b) Pluto" put "c) Mars" put "d) Jupiter" get answer if answer= 'a', 'c', 'd' then point=point+0 else then point=point+1 end if So it counts how much right questions I did, and how much incorrect questions I did. How can I do that? ----------------------------------- octopi Mon May 25, 2009 8:45 am Re: Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- Although this is incorrect, you can replace it with something that is correct... [code] if answer= 'a', 'c', 'd' then point=point+0 else then point=point+1 end if [/code] Could be changed to [code] if answer= "b" then point=point+1 else then point=point+0 end if [/code] But please keep in mind that point=point+0, is the same as point=point, which is the same as not even having that line there to begin with. If you have 5 apples, and you add 0 apples, you still have 5 apples. ----------------------------------- animeanime Mon May 25, 2009 8:50 am Re: Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- I put it, and I get a syntax error at " then " var answer: char var point: real var a, b, c, d: char point := 0 put "This is a science exam consisting of 20 questions.

But now, its not WORKING properly, why? % The multiple choise exam % User choose one of the 4 possiable answers for each question var answer: char var point: real var a, b, c, d: char point := 0 put "This is a science exam consisting of 20 questions.

Perhaps it isn't working, since Pluto isn't a planet let alone the the largest in the solar system. ----------------------------------- michaelp Mon May 25, 2009 2:26 pm Re: Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- get answer if answer= "b" then point:=point+1 else point:=point+0 end if That 'point := point + 0' is unnecessary. Also, instead of "answer = "b"" try doing it with single quotes. Single quotes are for single characters, double quotes are for strings, and the answer variable is a character. So, your new code would be: get answer if answer= 'b' then point:=point+1 end if You should put then on the same line as the if, it looks better. (IMO anyways) ----------------------------------- corriep Mon May 25, 2009 2:42 pm Re: Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- Ok 3 things: #1 The variables a, b, c, d : char are un-needed and you should get rid of them #2 answer should be a string not a char #3Perhaps it isn't working, since Pluto isn't a planet:evil: Don't you dare say that! ----------------------------------- Kharybdis Tue May 26, 2009 7:51 am RE:Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- Pluto owns. The scientists who spewed that scientific mumbo-jumbo saying its not a planet ultimately fail. Anyways, animeanime, please read the tutorials on if and elsif statements and strings.

Its working so far. ----------------------------------- animeanime Tue May 26, 2009 10:06 am Re: Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- Is it possible to make it like a real test? So for example after you did questions 1 and 2, and as your doing number 3. You want to change the answer for number 2. So you change it and then go back to number 3 and continue the test...... Is that possible? ----------------------------------- Siavash Tue May 26, 2009 12:07 pm RE:Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- I think your program will be much better if you use turing GUI.CreatePictureRadioButton look it up in http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/ to learn how to use it ----------------------------------- animeanime Wed May 27, 2009 8:14 am RE:Making multiple choise questions ----------------------------------- The code itself that is there, if I put it in turing, I get errors. And its not working for me
