What is it you are trying to achieve?
To make a program that reads a phrase/string and determine if it has use in it or not(ex. Dadsa adsiu s de ) that would count as a use


What is the problem you are having?
when i try to write a program to make it output the problem it fails to do so


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I've tried to use a for loop to check


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
<Answer Here>

Turing:


var phrase : string
var useword : string := "use"
var numword : int
put "Please enter a phrase to check if it contains use in it"
get phrase : *

for x : 1 .. length (phrase)
    if Str.Lower(phrase)= useword then
    put "use has been found"
    numword := x
    put "The word 'use' has been found in the ", numword ," character"
    end if
end for




Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1

you might want to take a gander at this here article about string manilupation

http://wiki.compsci.ca/index.php?title=Turing_String_Manipulation

basically what you could do is go through the phrase and check to see if the useword exists in it, one letter at a time, (keep in mind of spaces).

Heres a little starter point so you can play around with it. good luck buddy!!

code:

var useword : string := "u s e"

for i: 1 .. length(useword)
    put ord(useword(i))
end for
