Quiz program - elsifs and loops problems

[kickflipto50-50tobigspin]

Okay I have a class, which we use turing, but I'm not good with programing. I have this project which I need a good grade on this project to pass, if possible could someone help me with my project to get it working. I was up until 3 in the morning last night but still I had problems.

code:

const sentinel := "end" var answer : string var ans1 : int %Colors the background a green color colorback (grey) for count : 1 .. 80     delay (11)     put "*"     locate (1, count) end for for row : 2 .. 23     delay (11)     locate (row, 1)     put "*                                                                            **"     locate (row, 2)     put "*                                                                            **" end for for count : 1 .. 80     delay (11)     put "*"     locate (24, count)     delay (11) end for for count : 3 .. 79     delay (11)     put "*"     locate (18, count) end for loop     color (2)     put "Are You Addiicted To First Person Shooters ?? yes or no: " ..     get answer     exit when answer = "yes"     if answer = "no" then             put " "         color (blue)         put " Do you use the term NOOB?  yes or no"               get answer         exit when answer ="no"         if answer= "yes" then                 put" When you get a headshot kill in a first person shoot, do you say BOOOOM HEADSHOT?

Can someone please fix it up for me so it cna run and post it back here?

Welcome to CompSci.ca

First, we don't do homework for people. It's good that you've given it a try, but it's unethical for anyone to rewrite your code and then you hand it in as your own. Furthermore, you don't learn anything that way.

Second, please use [code][/code] tags when posting code. It will keep whatever indentation you may have had. Non-indented code is essentially unreadable, and lowers the chances of getting help.

Third, you need to ask a question. What is wrong with your program? How exactly does it need to be fixed up?

Fourth, use a descriptive topic title. We know you need help, because you're posting in a help forum. Saying it's urgent doesn't really help you at all, since you'll get help as soon as someone willing reads your post. Posting ASAP probably won't make anyone more willing to help you. It is a little annoying that you think your thread deserves more attention than the others.

Finally, check out the Turing Walkthrough. There are tutorials you'll find from there that will make this program a lot easier. You'd probably want to learn about arrays, records and types, procedures and functions, and maybe files.

Okay thanks for the reply, I don't know why doesn't it work, if someone can tell me why it doesn't work. I've tried to figure it out but I don't know how? I think I need an elsif statement, but not sure, how to do so. I just doesn't run, for example I get this message " string literal ends at end of line" I don't know what does that mean. I understand that it wouldn't be right for me to ask you to fix up my work and I hand it in, all I want is for someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it.

code:

put" When you get a headshot kill in a first person shoot, do you say BOOOOM HEADSHOT? Yes or No "         get answer         exit when answer= "No"         if answer="yes" then         put" When you here the word camping do you instantly thinking about campers in a FPS? Yes or No"         get answer         exit when answer= "No"         if answer = "Yes" then                put" The first thing that comes to your mind when you here CS is.. (1) Computer Science or (2) Counter-Strike        get answer        exit when answer = "1"        if answer= "2" then        put" Do you run around your house  pretending you're hold a guy and make gun sounds and say I can dance all day I can dance all day try hitting him noob? Yes or No

You need quotation marks at the end of a string. You might have this problem elsewhere.

Yeah I figured that out, that part is okay now ( guess I was too tired last night and forgot about puting " ) since it's not highlighted when I try to run it.
Now I'm doing this:

code:

put " "         put "Your third question is.."         put "which of these reason do you think is the best reason you play FPS? Choose from 1 to 5 "         color (100)         put "(1)Hockey not violent and bloody enough (2)Not enough people shooting at you on slight in real life (3) I just want to blow something up (4)Already got kicked out of the real army (5) I'm just bored and want to play something : " ..         get answer         exit when answer= "(5) I'm bored and want to play something"         if answer="1"   "3" "4" then         put "What War Ear Would You Rather Be A Part Of? World War 2 or Vietnam War or Iraq War"         elsif answer= "2" then put        put "What War Ear Would You Rather Be A Part Of? World War 2 or Vietnam War or Iraq War"

Am I on the right track by adding the elsif statements and am I doign it right?
BTW thanks for helping me out.

your code is also all over the place, i counted like 12 missing end ifs, which i have no idea where they go, you are missing end quotes, you are missing the "then" after your if conditions, i think you need to take time and pay attention to what you are typing a bit more carefully, a little bit of planning would help too

Yeah I know I was really in a hurry, now I think I fixed this part is it right

code:

if answer="1"   then         put "What War Ear Would You Rather Be A Part Of? World War 2 or Vietnam War or Iraq War"         elsif answer= "2" then        put "What War Ear Would You Rather Be A Part Of? World War 2 or Vietnam War or Iraq War"                  elsif answer= "3" then        put "What War Ear Would You Rather Be A Part Of? World War 2 or Vietnam War or Iraq War"                  elsif answer= "4" then        put "What War Ear Would You Rather Be A Part Of? World War 2 or Vietnam War

Also about the missing end ifs I'm doign what I can fix now then after all that is fix I'm gonna worry abotu the end if. What does syntax error at 'put' , expected then" mean?

[Clayton]

it means you probably have an if statement before you have your put statement and you forgot to put "then" after your condition eg.

code:

if x=maxx then %this is the then i was talking about put maxint end if %what you are having the problem with i think if x=maxx put maxint end if %this creates a run-time error, make sure you have then after your condition

[kickflipto50-50tobigspin]

Okay this is the part that is wrong

code:

ut "Are You Addiicted To First Person Shooters ?? yes or no: " ..     get answer     exit when answer = "no"     if answer = "Yes" then     put" Now don't you feel better for telling the truth?"         if answer = " Vietnam War"         [b]put" Your Battlefield game is Battleifield Vietnam have you play this game? Yes or No" then[/b]         get answer         exit when answer= " No"         if answer= "Yes" then         put" If you have made it this far you are 100% addicted to first person shooters"

know what I'm doing wrong. BTW thanks for the help.

[kickflipto50-50tobigspin]

^^^^ NVM I found where I didn't put then?

[Clayton]

your "then" is in the wrong spot, move it to after the if condition, not your text you are putting to the screen

[kickflipto50-50tobigspin]

Okay sorry for the replies after another, this forums really need a edit option. Okay I have one error now and it's syntax error at ' End of File', expected ' end if' but I alreayd have a end if at the end of the program.

[HellblazerX]

you probably forgot an end if, so just add one. Just press F2 to indent. You can tell where you're missing an end if or end loop if your program is not properly indented.

[Clayton]

put in another one, you might still be missing one

just at the ned of the program anywhere?
So far this is my program I'm getting really excited about this seeing if it will work.

code:

Yes or No "             get answer             exit when answer = "No"             if answer = "yes" then                 put " When you here the word camping do you instantly thinking about campers in a FPS?
