Turing Exam

[Hugetanks]

Hello,

I have a computer science exam on turing and I wanted to know if anyone of you know the following:

Are turing variables case sensitive?

What is sequence in turing? Can you give me an example, since I don't understand what exactly it is.

Logic behind comparing words for alphabetical order.

THanks,

Yes I know all of those things.

As much as I loved to be spoon-fed at your age, I'm going to suggest the "try it and find out" approach. Although it isn't what you're looking for (directly), Take one of your old programs and change a variable's case and see what happens! As for the second bit, you can also learn that quite quickly with some exploratory coding. I can't remember if truing has a function for this, but if it doesn't the logic is really however you set it up. For instance string to array (possibly) or assign each letter/possible returns a word a hierarchy of value.

Well thanks for the answers...... I took the exam yesterday and.... i forgot to use constants on the questions, so im going to lose a ton of marks, so i think i screwwed up.

In practise using variables instead of constants won't affect your program. Using constants where you want a variable, however, will give you problems.

The thing is that the teachers expect us to use constants for everything. So if the question involved outputting something if the input is larger than 500,000, we would need a constant for the 500,000. I directly wrote the number, which is why im going to lose marks.
