Counting the number of false Boolean expressions in a loop?

[gayden]

Making a program where Turing generates a Rand.Int and user has to guess the number, if they get it right I want the program to tell them how many tries it took them to get the correct answer.
Here's what I have so far:

code:

var ans, times : int const num := Rand.Int (0, 100) times := put "Please guess a number between 0 and 100." loop     get ans     if (ans = num) then         put "Congratulations! It took you ", times, " attempts to guess the number!"     elsif (ans < num) then         put "Guess higher."     else         put "Guess lower."     end if     exit when (num = ans) end loop

Currently the variable 'times' has no value, so if you wish to run this you'll have to remove the declaration of times with nothing after it and the use of it in line 8.

Is there a function in turing I can use to do this?

Addittionally, I am making this one:

code:

%Program will ask user how many integers they want to be added, ask them to input the numbers, then print the sum var nums, innum, sum : int put "Please enter the number of integers that will be added: " .. get nums for count : 1 .. nums     put "Please enter the integer #", count, ": " ..     get innum end for sum := innum + put "The sum of the numbers is ", sum

I think my error is similar to the first program, but I am not sure.

Any help is appreciated.

A more obvious problem is that you have incomplete lines of code

code:

times :=

code:

sum := innum +

.

Otherwise yes, you need to initialize variable values. Otherwise in code such as

code:

var sum : int sum := sum + 2 put sum

What should it print? It can't be known. Assigning a value first:

code:

sum := 0

will resolve that ambiguity.

I know I have to give the variables values, but how do I get them to count the number of times 'sum' is written?

Have another counter variable.

code:

var sum_counter : int := 0 ... put "Sum is ", sum sum_counter += 1 % increment by one

I believe I solved it.

code:

var num, sum, x : int put "Please enter the number of integers that will be added: " .. get num sum := 0 for count : 1 .. num     put "Please enter the integer #", count, ": " ..     get x     sum := sum + x end for put "The sum of your integers is", sum

Any problems with this one?

Looks good to me.
