----------------------------------- Infinit1 Mon Oct 31, 2011 4:47 pm How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- What is it you are trying to achieve? To make an Investment calculator What is the problem you are having? I dont know how to get the program to quit and say " The number of years is more than 16 or less than 10, so we cannot calculate it" , and then quit Describe what you have tried to solve this problem if yrs >= 16 then put " Cannot calculate unless the number of years are less than 16" elsif yrs >=9 then put " Cannot calculate unless the number of years are more than 9 " Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) put " Investment calculator" var b : real var it : real var yrs : int put " Please enter the beginning balance " get b put " Please enter the interest " get it put " Please enter the amount of years " get yrs if yrs >= 16 then put " Cannot calculate unless the number of years are less than 16" elsif yrs >=9 then put " Cannot calculate unless the number of years are more than 9 " put "=================================================" put "Year", " ", "Beginning", " ", " Interest", " ", "Year End" put " ", "Balance", " ", "Charged", " ", "Balance" put "=================================================" for i : 1 .. yrs put " ", i, " ", b : 10 : 2, " ", b * it : 10 : 2, " ", (b + (b * it)) : 10 : 2 b := b + (b * it) end for end if Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1.1 ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Oct 31, 2011 5:21 pm RE:How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- so you know when you want to quit, just not how. There are a number of methods. 1 - Get to the end of the program. You might have to think about program flow and how you nest your various control structures (if, loops, etc) 2 - [tdoc]return[/tdoc] would probably get you there faster. You might or might not been to be inside a procedure for this to work. 3 - [tdoc]quit[/tdoc] throws an exception that will drop like a rock through your code and cause it to end. ----------------------------------- Infinit1 Mon Oct 31, 2011 5:45 pm RE:How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- thx !! got it and learnt about return and quit :p ----------------------------------- Infinit1 Tue Nov 01, 2011 4:34 pm RE:How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- Can someone tell me how to get the "years" in the table to be aligned? Eg: Years 01 02 03 04 .. 10 etc ----------------------------------- Beastinonyou Tue Nov 01, 2011 4:41 pm Re: How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- You might want to look at this very simple example for spacing: for i : 1 .. 10 put i : 10 % change '10' around to experiment end for Now, you just need to alter it to produce the results you wish. (have 0's in front of 1 digit numbers, etc) ----------------------------------- Infinit1 Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:21 pm RE:How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- Sorry, but I dont get it :( i tried putting in for i : 01..yrs put i: 01 end for and other numbers after "put i: " , but its always wrong. ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:27 pm Re: RE:How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- i tried ... other numbers after "put i: " , but its always wrong. Have you tried ----------------------------------- Beastinonyou Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:31 pm Re: How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- I just tried to show you what happens when you put a number after the colon directly after putting 'i' for i : 1 .. 10 put i : 10 % Simply puts Value of 'i' 10 spaces to the right end for now to modify it to have 0's in front of your numbers 1 to 10: for i : 1 .. 10 if i > 0 and i < 10 then put "" : 9, "0", i else put i : 11 end if end for ----------------------------------- Aange10 Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:32 pm RE:How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- If it makes you feel better, I don't exactly understand what [code] put i : 10 [/code] is saying either. I think it means 10 spaces, from playing with it. ----------------------------------- Infinit1 Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:33 pm RE:How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- nvm, thxi solved it though i did put i: 01+yrs Last question.., when it's asking for the "put statements" there is a space... how do i get rid of it? Ex: (space) What is the starting principal? 5000 (space) What is the interest rate? 0.07 ----------------------------------- Beastinonyou Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:56 pm Re: How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- first, you should properly align a table, with clear column names. With the way you incorporate the pointless " ", in between each section.. Heck, It'd be easier to put it all in one string. Aside from that. How can this possibly form a table? You need to open the window up more to fit all the section, and use a for statement to make a grid. Let me help you. var window : int := Window.Open ("graphics: 800; 600") put repeat ("=", 90) put " Year Beginning Interest Year End Balance Charged Balance" put repeat ("=", 90) var gridX : int := 0 var gridY : int := 400 for i : 0 .. 8 drawline (gridX + (i * 90), gridY, gridX + (i * 90), gridY + 193, black) end for ----------------------------------- Infinit1 Tue Nov 01, 2011 7:10 pm RE:How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- lol, I wish i could use that :( but my teacher's gonna yell at me and tell me that I'm in grade 11 programming which is supposed to be "basic" and that I shouldn't use complex things that she hasn't taught us. It would make the other students feel like they don't know much.. Though thx for simplifying it for me, now i know how to make column and rows the proper way instead of putting"=" before the headings and "|" after every heading. Finally finished my third program in turing :) The walking dead = 16 then quit (or exit) end if or you can type yrs1 := yrs >= 9 and yrs >= 16 if yrs1 then exit else put ".... lalala ( or you dont have to do this and you can just end if)" end if ----------------------------------- Beastinonyou Fri Nov 11, 2011 7:50 am Re: RE:How do i get my program to quit when the number is less or more ~!!~~!! :( ----------------------------------- if yrs >= 9 and yrs >= 16 then quit (or exit) end if or you can type yrs1 := yrs >= 9 and yrs >= 16 if yrs1 then exit else put ".... lalala ( or you dont have to do this and you can just end if)" end if That is not even correct syntax, with making a variable to what an if statement could be. And when you put "if yrs1 then", that would work for a boolean. Not what you just did. Plus, if yrs is >= 9 and >= 16, that's all numbers from 9 and up, beyond 16. Quite simply, all you need is this: if years < 10 or years > 16 then put "Incorrect number of years. Must be between 10 and 16" delay (2000) exit end if or if you want the window to close, you'd need: var window : int := Window.Open ("graphics: 500; 500") % At the beginning of the program. Opens 500 by 500 window Window.Close (window) % Can be used instead of exit, to fully close the window.
