Turing help for beginner. Please

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

I have a grade 10 computer class and we're using Turing. I've done 6 questions and I don't know what to do on these 3 questions questions.

1) Calculating the cost of a pizza:

Each pizza has the following fixed costs: 
Labor cost: 0.75
Rent cost: 1 per pizza
Then you need to add the cost of the material used as follows: 
Material: 0.05*diameter*diameter (in inches)
User enters the size of the pizza in inches and total cost is calculated by computer. 

2)The user enters a two-digit number, computer shows each digit separately. 
Example: user enters 23
 Computer shows:
 First digit is: 2
 Second digit is: 3

Thank you in advance.

There should have been a template for you to show us your attempt, and describe exactly what the problem is.

I don't know what to do.

is not even a question.

I posted my questions. I don't know what to do is implying that I have no idea how to do the questions. I can't show my attempts because we were doing it in class and of course you might know that all works are saved in my school's computer and I can't access them unless I'm in school.

You must have some idea... after all, you've already
I've done 6 questions

And for the remainder of the questions, you know at least how to add, right? Labor + rent is

step 1 - user enters 2 digit number (e.g. 23)
step 2 - Computer shows (to start, anything at all!)
step 3 - First digit (e.g. 2)
step 4 - Second digit (e.g. 3)

You can get through steps 1 and 2 with [tdoc]get[/tdoc] and [tdoc]put[/tdoc], and once again you are half way through the problem. You also know exactly what to do next, and can ask specifically about that.

Thanks. I think I can do the first question. 
I still don't get how the turing will separate the 2 digits.

Hint for that question -- division and remainder. It's just pure math.
