i need help

i need help with turing...im clueless

problem:

create a program that will ask the user for an interger between 1 and 50.the program should output all the prime factors of that integer

ask us a question and we'll help, ask us to do ur hwk, and u'll ge flamed[/quote]

k fine....i can do some of the program, its just i have no idea how to make the make the program find the prime factors. all i know is that it uses 'div' and/or 'mod'......i think

[fire581]

ummm is anyone gonna hepl me.....if no say so, so i dont wait in front of my comp like an idiot while i could be doing something much more productive

[Tony]

such as learning how to program perhaps?

[Albrecd]

You should probably do something more productive. We will try to help, but it will probably take longer for us to answer than you want to wait... This is a Forum, not a chat room.

u didnt answer my question, and im only in grd.7 and turing is new to me and i made a big mistake, taking advanced course....but probably a bigger mistake was asking you lot

[fire581]

btw that last post was meant to go to the moderator person, not the person who actually offered help

[Tony]

primes?
factors?

it's all there

[Albrecd]

You should post at least a start to your program so that we can help you with it. Otherwise, we're doing it for you. If you can't even start, you should talk to your teacher, they can help you learn. (It's kinda why they exist)

[fire581]

i didnt realise u said that until a short while ago(i was doing something productive)
yea will this is what i got....the very advanced ppl who read this are gonna hav a good laugh, and something funny to tell their equally advanced frends....

%A program that asks for a number and outputs its prime facotrs.

%Variable Declarations
var newint:int
var factors:int

%Input
put"Input a number between 1 and 50. "..
get newint

%Processing/Output
factors:=newint mod 2
if factors = 0
then put 2

factors:=newint mod 3
elsif factors=0
then put 3

factors:=newint mod 5
elsif factors=0
then put 5

factors:=newint mod 7
elsif factors=0
then put 7

factors:=newint mod 11
elsif factors=0
then put 11

factors:=newint mod 13
elsif factors=0
then put 13

factors:=newint mod 17
elsif factors=0
then put 17

factors:=newint mod 19
elsif factors=0
then put 19

factors:=newint mod 23
elsif factors=0
then put 23

end if

it obviously doesnt work, and i need to be enlightened

Isnt there a post that I posted with Prime factors using recursion... Zylum had the right solution, use the search button

[Tony]

fire581 - start by going through Turing Walkthrough.. you need to learn the basics before diving into algorythms

MysticVegeta - keep recursion away from fire581

not the best thing to say when your asking for help, hmm?
