Beginner Turing Problem- variables???

[mattpk]

Hi guys i am new to this forum I got interested in turing from my older brother.

I am 11, so please when you explain this to me i understand.
My brother challenged me to make a program that lets you get the person's marks and find the average. Simple enough, but very complicated now!

Turing:

var numberofmarks, countt, totallmark, markk, average : int begin     put "How many marks would you like to to in for your average?"     get numberofmarks     loop         countt := countt + 1         put "What is mark ", countt, "?"         get markk         totallmark := markk + totallmark         markk := 0         exit when countt = numberofmarks     end loop     put "Your average is ", totallmark / countt, "!" end

I run this, but then the program becomes finished after the user gives the variable numberofmarks. The loop isn't done for some reason, and the things after the loop aren't either.


Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags! Thanks

You have to first set countt and totallmark to 0

code:

countt := 0 totallmark := 0

Just to add something.

You don't need the "average" variable, notice how you didn't even use it in your program.

Also the program might be easier to understand if you use a counted loop.

Thank you dc116!

WOW!! I am impressed.. someone your age! That is awsome

Anyway.. here is your finished and working code:

Turing:

var numberofmarks, markk : int var countt,totallmark:int :=0 begin     put "How many marks would you like to to in for your average?"     get numberofmarks         loop         countt := countt + 1         put "What is mark ", countt, "?"         get markk         totallmark := markk + totallmark         markk := 0         exit when countt = numberofmarks     end loop     put "Your average is ", totallmark / countt, "!" end

Thx, Sam_Sam, my brother inspired me and i have some practice coding from GML, anyone can do it if they put their mind to it
