I have a grade 10 computer class and we're using Turing. I've done 6 questions and I don't know what to do on these 3 questions questions.

1) Calculating the cost of a pizza:

Each pizza has the following fixed costs:
Labor cost: 0.75
Rent cost: 1 per pizza
Then you need to add the cost of the material used as follows:
Material: 0.05*diameter*diameter (in inches)
User enters the size of the pizza in inches and total cost is calculated by computer.

2)The user enters a two-digit number, computer shows each digit separately.
Example: user enters 23
Computer shows:
First digit is: 2
Second digit is: 3

Thank you in advance.

There should have been a template for you to show us your attempt, and describe exactly what the problem is.

I posted my questions. I don't know what to do is implying that I have no idea how to do the questions. I can't show my attempts because we were doing it in class and of course you might know that all works are saved in my school's computer and I can't access them unless I'm in school.

You must have some idea... after all, you've already

And for the remainder of the questions, you know at least how to add, right? Labor + rent is
code:

0.75 + 1

All that's left is to add in the cost of materials.

The questions typically describe exactly what needs to be done
Quote:

step 1 - user enters 2 digit number (e.g. 23)
step 2 - Computer shows (to start, anything at all!)
step 3 - First digit (e.g. 2)
step 4 - Second digit (e.g. 3)

You can get through steps 1 and 2 with get and put, and once again you are half way through the problem. You also know exactly what to do next, and can ask specifically about that.

Thanks. I think I can do the first question.
I still don't get how the turing will separate the 2 digits.

Hint for that question -- division and remainder. It's just pure math.
