We aren't assuming you know these things. We are helping you, and if we tell you to use something you don't know of, or use a word you haven't learned, feel free to ask about it, and we'll explain in greater detail

No, I didn't think it was right, but I thought I'd like to share. I put this up to get tips and I'll accept suggestions to make it more efficient and better but I don't like hearing "Well *I* can do it in 2 minutes, why can't you do it in 15?"

Turing:

var names : array 1 .. 26 of string := init ("Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie", "Delta", "Echo", "Foxtrot", "Golf", "Hotel", "India", "Juliet", "Kilo", "Lima", "Mike", "November", "Oscar", "Papa",     "Quebec", "Romeo", "Sierra", "Tango", "Uniform", "Victor", "Whiskey", "X - ray", "Yankee", "Zulu") var word : string get word word := Str.Upper (word) for i : 1 .. length (word)     put names (ord (word (i)) - 64) end for

It's a programmer thing.

Alright.

And thanks Bean, but I have to admit that's beyond my knowledge of Turing

That isn't at all what I said, you're trying to make me out as a larger a**hole than I am. I simply said it hsould not have taken you 2 hours, because a large portion of this time was spent copying + pasting a new if structure, and adding more to the end of it.
If you hadn't been so defensive, you probably would have understood that.

I know what my program does and I know it can be done way more efficiently, as I was just shown. I apologize for jumping on you like that, I'm just normally used to people saying "I can do it better."

[Insectoid]

I think this topic has strayed far enough from it's original course. If it doesn't turn back, it may be locked (how I wish I had mod powers..)

Deal.

SkaarjSlayer, you'd definitely save a lot of time and become more knowledgeable, maybe even wiser if you learn loops and other nifty things like functions. Take a look at the Turing Walkthrough in the tutorials forum.
