Symbols using ASCII codes.

[Vorpal]

I've been assigned a project and for additional marks have been asked to include a degree symbol, I've learned that this can be accomplished by holding alt and typing 0176 on the number pad, and it seems to work everywhere other than in Turing, am I doing something wrong?

I suppose you can edit your source file elsewhere. You can also use chr(). The number for the degree symbol is probably dependent on the code page (likely Windows-1252). Take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252.

176 is the ascii code of it, you need to use chr(176) to print it

code:

put "5", chr(176)

the above is an example code that prints 5(degree symbol)

The link I gave gives you 176 (yes). Also, there is no degree symbol in ASCII.

Alternatively, you can draw a small circle using drawoval.
