----------------------------------- endusto Sun Feb 13, 2005 5:48 pm loop question ----------------------------------- i've checked the manual and stuff but im still not sure how to do this, i know a few other languages, like C++, java ect, and they all have "while loops" so it loops until something equals something else, how do you do that in turing? and, how do you make it so a new variable is created every time? like i have to make something that asks how many courses you have this semester, then it will ask you what you got in each one and find the average, but i dont know how to make a new variable for each mark, if you are asked how many courses you have ----------------------------------- Drakain Zeil Sun Feb 13, 2005 6:05 pm ----------------------------------- Eh? I think you want to use a for..end for, and an array. var courses:int get courses var grade:array of int 1..courses for i:1..courses get grade(i) end for Is that what you wanted? (note: I haven't used turing in a while, my code code be off by a bit) ----------------------------------- ssr Sun Feb 13, 2005 6:09 pm ----------------------------------- Do you want exit when var ha :int loop get ha exit when ha = 5 end loop 8) 8) ----------------------------------- endusto Sun Feb 13, 2005 7:36 pm ----------------------------------- well i want that, but i want it so like, ha1 will be your first mark, ha2 will be your second... ect. ----------------------------------- ssr Sun Feb 13, 2005 8:09 pm ----------------------------------- then u have to create an array var times:int put "how many marks to enter?" get times var lala : array 1..times of int % this part is just in case the user skips a turn for ii:1..times lala(ii) := 0 end for for i:1..times put "Enter the number ", i ," mark." get lala (i) end for for b:1..times put "The number ",b, " mark is ",lala (b) end for :wink: :D ----------------------------------- 1337_brad Sun Feb 13, 2005 8:27 pm Uhh... ----------------------------------- Turing has while loops o.o; *I think* been a while since I turcoded but I am uite sure it does o.o; ----------------------------------- cycro1234 Mon Feb 14, 2005 8:30 am ----------------------------------- Turing does not have while loops ----------------------------------- ssr Mon Feb 14, 2005 2:55 pm ----------------------------------- I'm just wondering, is there anyway to create arrays or chnage it like depends on how many numbers the user entered, teh number of arrays are created. :D :D :D using loops and blah blah 8) 8) ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Feb 14, 2005 3:13 pm ----------------------------------- Turing does not have while loops sure it does loop ... exit when not(condition) end loop :wink: something about arrays yes - [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=6723]Flexible Arrays ----------------------------------- ssr Mon Feb 14, 2005 8:32 pm ----------------------------------- WOWOWOWOW thanx Tony,so thats what its for I was just wondering what a flexible array is. :D :D ----------------------------------- StarGateSG-1 Tue Feb 15, 2005 12:20 pm ----------------------------------- Not to be rude but if you already know some java and C++ why are you leanring turing :?: :?: :?: :arrow: Turing is only good if you don't know any other language at teh time :!: :arrow: If it is a school course talk to your teacher about advancing your skills not back tracking 8) ----------------------------------- ssr Tue Feb 15, 2005 4:23 pm ----------------------------------- I only know a little java and still learning, and I dont know any C++? ummm ----------------------------------- Bacchus Tue Feb 15, 2005 11:20 pm ----------------------------------- i think he wa stalking about endusto ----------------------------------- ssr Wed Feb 16, 2005 12:13 pm ----------------------------------- Blah :oops: :oops: use lalala anyway I like Turing.. ----------------------------------- cycro1234 Wed Feb 16, 2005 7:10 pm ----------------------------------- Turing is great if u've never done ne programming in the past, like me :D
