Sadly, we at compsci do no give out answers to assignments. If you were to actually tell us where your program is going wrong, we could help you. (Hint: You need two strings for each input. Turing counts spaces as breaks.[Breaking the string into two different parts])

No you don't. The following will get the spaces and everything after.
get str : *


There should be a string manipulation walkthrough in the Turing Walkthrough, but here's how you'd approach this particular problem.

EDIT: FML, Cervantes has a complete example with code in the Walkthrough. Go there.

RE:Help!Turing String Assignment!! HELP PLEASE!!!

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

my problem is that i get how to find the spaces and string mainpulation and stuff, but i dont really get how to do it because you have to prompt the user for the answer so you cant declare what the string will be and its giving me an error because its saying i havent declared it!

can anyone tell me what kind of loop to use? like a for loop or a reular loop?
 
thankyou!!

If it is telling you that you haven't declared it, the problem is you haven't put the get statement before that part of the code. You need to get the string first before you can do anything about it.
