Well... next time dump the all caps... hurts to read Razz

I'm only going to tell you the possible function you need to complete this. I'm assuming you already have knowledge of "get", "put", "loop", and "exit when".

Quite simply, to look at individual characters within a string, you just need brackets and an index value beside the variable. In this case, we we're looking at the FIRST letter of the name, so we need to look at position 1 and just use a simple "if" statement. if INPUT(1)>="A" and INPUT<="H" then put "Group 1". The reason why we can use less/greater/equal than comparison with strings is becuase Turing can assign numerical equivilents to strings. If you still don't understand how that works, you can alwasy put if INPUT(1)="A" or INPUT(1)="B" INPUT(1)="C" INPUT(1)="D" etc.

That should be enough to let you finish the program. If you need help writing this 11 line program beyond this... well... I guess you could just ask... though seriously, I hope I don't see you asking for more on this otherwise you're probably really behind the rest of the class.

What's the point in giving you the code? That's essentially cheating... I'm telling you, all you need is the simplicity of looking at the first letter of the string with INPUT(1) that's it!

Do you want me to make a flowchart for you?

code:

         (1)
          |
          |
[get user input]
          |
          |
<does input="QUIT"?>------YES------> [exit program]
          |
         NO
          |
<does input start with "A" or "B" or "C"..... or "H"?>---->[output "GROUP 1"]
          |                                                        |
         NO                                                        |
          |                                                 (go back to 1)
[output "GROUP 2"]
          |
          |
(go back to 1)

NAS, if you don't understand programming, do yourself a favour and drop the class...

I mean you wouldn't be able to access the web during your tests and exams... so you're going to fail anyway Confused

Programming is not for everyone... there're lots of other subjects to take.

well actually its a very nice flow chart...

good job on that... if that doesn't make code clear, I don't know what will!

You got a 70? Good job! Keep it up.

code:

if name(1) <"H" then
group1 = group1 + name
else
group2 = group1 + name
end if
