My First Three Programs - details inside

Kaykao · **Posted:** Fri Feb 22, 2013 4:40 pm

Hello there!

I'm not very experienced with turing yet, but I figured I would share the first three little programs I've made. Please, tell me what you think! If the code could be shortened or I've made an error, or something could in any way be improved on any of these programs, I'd love to hear it.

I'm now attempting to make a simple calculator, but I'm searching for other simple little projects to do to help expand my knowledge of the program. So feel free to suggest little projects I could tackle if you feel like it.

And I apologize for this thread being so long... I didn't know how else to put these up. >>;

Math Practice - A program that asks the user a simple math question, and will tell the user if the answer they give is right or wrong.
I did my best to work out the bugs with division... But there might still be something. Eheh.

Code:

var windowID := Window.Open ("graphics:300;200")

%-----PROCEDURES-----%
procedure clear
for x : 0 .. maxx %Draws white lines across the screen from left to right to clear it
delay (1)
Draw.Line (x, 0, x, 160, white)
end for
end clear

procedure add
delay (500)
var y : int
var a : int := Rand.Int (1, 20)
var b : int := Rand.Int (1, 20)
var input : string
Text.Locate (4, 1)
put a, " + ", b, " = " ..
loop
get input
if strintok (input) then
y := strint (input)
exit
else
put "That's not a number!"
delay (2000)
clear
Text.Locate (4, 1)
put a, " + ", b, " = " ..
end if
end loop
if y = a + b then
put "Correct!"
else
put "Incorrect... The answer was ", a + b
end if
delay (2000)
clear
end add

procedure subtract
delay (500)
var y : int
var a : int := Rand.Int (1, 20)
var b : int := Rand.Int (1, 20)
var input : string
loop
if a < b then
a := Rand.Int (1, 20)
b := Rand.Int (1, 20)
elsif a >= b then
exit
end if
end loop
Text.Locate (4, 1)
put a, " - ", b, " = " ..
loop
get input
if strintok (input) then
y := strint (input)
exit
else
put "That's not a number!"
delay (2000)
clear
Text.Locate (4, 1)
put a, " - ", b, " = " ..
end if
end loop
if y = a - b then
put "Correct!"
else
put "Incorrect... The answer was ", a - b
end if
delay (2000)
clear
end subtract

procedure multiply
delay (500)
var y : int
var a : int := Rand.Int (0, 12)
var b : int := Rand.Int (0, 12)
var input : string
Text.Locate (4, 1)

end if
end loop
if y = a * b then
put "Correct!"
else
put "Incorrect... The answer was ", a * b
end if
delay (2000)
clear
end multiply

procedure divide
delay (500)
var y : real
var input : string
var a : int := Rand.Int (1, 12)
var b : int := Rand.Int (1, 12)
var c : real := a / b + 0.01

end if

end loop

put "Correct!"
elsif y = a / b then
put "Correct"
elsif y < a / b or y > c then

Guess The Number - A very simple game that asks the user to guess a number between 1 and 10. If the user doesn't guess right on the first try, the program will tell them whether they need to guess higher or lower. It generates a new number every play through, and you can either quit or choose to play another round after each guessed number.
I was thinking of limiting how many guesses you have before you fail somehow... perhaps using a for loop? What do you think?

Code:

var windowID := Window.Open ("graphics:500;500")

%-----VARIABLES-----%
var input : string
var x : int
var yesno : string

%-----PROCEDURES-----%

for a : 0 .. maxx %Draws white lines across the screen from left to right to clear it.

Draw.Line (a, 0, a, maxy, white)
end for

end clear

font1 := Font.New ("comicsans:17")
Font.Draw ("Guess the Number!", 10, 475, font1, black)

var n : int := Rand.Int (1, 10) % Generates the number that the user is trying to guess
Text.Locate (5, 1)
put "Guess the number! It's between 1 and 10..."
loop
loop
get input
if strintok (input) then
x := strint (input)

else
put "That's not a number!"
delay (1000)
clear
Text.Locate (5, 1)
put "Guess the number! It's between 1 and 10..."
end if
end loop
if x = n then
put "Congratulations! You guessed correctly!"
exit
elsif x > n then
put "Hmmm... You should try guessing lower..."
elsif x < n then
put "Not quite... You should guess higher."
end if
end loop
delay (1000)
put ""
put "Play again? y/n"
get yesno
%-----Determines whether to run the program again or not-----------------------------------------
if yesno = "n" then % result if use chooses not to play again
put ""
put "You have chosen to quit... Bye!"
delay (1000)
exit
elsif yesno = "y" then % result if user chooses to play again

Window.Close (windowID)

Paint Rip-Off - This program lets you draw lines within the bordered area. You can pick from a few different pencil colours and sizes for your drawing, and clear the canvas if you for some reason wish to murder your obviously beautiful creation.
Man did this one ever take some figuring out... And I know it doesn't have all the tools MS Paint has, I just couldn't think up a better name for it.

Code:

buttonchoose ("multibutton")

Im on my iPod ATM so it's hard to look at everything. However one thing I did notice is that you split up all your operations Into four separate procedures. In fact, this can all be shortened into one, because you basically do the same thing over and over except change the operation

BigBear · **Posted:** Sat Feb 23, 2013 9:43 am

Raknarg is right! For your first program you have a loop to get the input in each of your operation (+, -, *, /)

Turing:

loop
get input
if strintok (input) then
y := strint (input)
exit
else
put "That's not a number!"
delay (2000)
clear
Text.Locate (4, 1)
put a, " + ", b, " = " ..
end if
end loop

Nice program! Way better than my brother's math program xD
His (my brother's) code... it's so hard to understand.
Not even one comment, and everything is all over the place.

Edit: You taught me how to organize my code in Turing better now Razz

I don't code in Turing anymore, but I'll have to next year in CompSci Confused
