looping problems

This is a chunk of shape program i have to do for an ISP when i ask for choice near the end i want it to exit the outermost loop not just the one it is embedded if thye input shape does anyone have any suggestions?

Turing:

elsif shape = "parallelogram" then         put "What part would you like to solve for"         put "base, height, or area"         get partpara         loop             if partpara = "base" then                 put "Please enter the height THEN area"                 get height                 get area                 put "The equation we will be using is Base = Area / height"                 put "B = A/h  This is our base equation"                 put "B = ", area / height, "  This equation simply requires you to divide"                 put "Therefore B = ", area / height                 exit             elsif partpara = "height" then                 put "Please enter base THEN area"                 get base                 get area                 put "The equation we will be using is Height = Area / base"                 put "h = A/b  This is our base equation"                 put "h = ", area / base, "  This equation simply requires you to divide"                 put "Therefore the height is ", area / base                 exit             elsif partpara = "area" then                 put "Please enter base THEN height"                 get base                 get height                 put "The equation we will be using is Area = base * height"                 put "A = b*h  This is our base equation"                 put "A = ", base * height, "  This equation simply requires you to divide"                 put "Therefore the area is ", base * height                 exit             else                 put "That is not a valid part please re-enter the part and check your spelling and make sure all characters lower case"                 get partpara             end if         end loop         put "Please type in shape if you want to solve for another shape or part if you want to solve for another part"         get choice         loop             if choice = "shape" then                 exit             elsif choice = "part" then                 exit             else                 put "That is an invalid answer please retype and make sure it is lower case and properly spelt"             end if         end loop

Mod Edit: Fixing broken syntax tag

sorry i havent worked out how to do that syntax thing yet

sorry no i have it

You just do this:

code:

[syntax="Turing"]% Your Code Here[/syntax]

Just copy and paste your code where it says your code here.

To exit from multiple loops in Turing, you will need to use an exit flag and some "exit when" statements. Example:

Turing:

loop     var doExit : boolean := false     loop         % some stuff goes here. Oops, we should exit!         doExit := true         exit     end loop     exit when doExit end loop
