Turing and C++

[bugzpodder]

a few things i could think of which Turing does better than C++ is base conversion, draw stars, and mapleleafs.

[Homer_simpson]

no that's bulljizz!!!
you can draw stars or maple leaf or whatever 10 times faster with c++!!!

bugz... its the same damn function... Turing does convert to C++ and compile

[Homer_simpson]

yes but it also compiles a lotta other shit that we dont want and slows are program down =/

[Catalyst]

the other stuff just makes the exe large ,that and the fact turing is hybrid interpreter, at least thats what the holt site says and the runtime debug and error checking slow turing down

[bugzpodder]

you guys misunderstood me. there is no base convertion function, draw star function and draw maple leaf function in C++

[PaddyLong]

hehe that's what I was thinking bugz

[Tony]

yeah... thats cuz tom west is pretending to be a nice guy and wrote one (or more likely found on) and included it in a custom library that is being attached to turing files.

[Martin]

You also have to admit that turing does have a much nicer error checking system than c++ (at least microsoft visual c++).

Also, umm...yeah. Better error checking.

[Homer_simpson]

what do u mean by base convertion?!

[bugzpodder]

yes that too, Darkness.

base conversion is when you convert from one base to another (helpful, arent I)

[Mazer]

he means 1000101(base 2) = 69 (base 10)

which can be done easily in turing by:

code:

put strint ("1000101", 2)

[Homer_simpson]

lol of course c++ does base changin!!!

[AsianSensation]

not as easy as Turing. I rememeber that DWITE contest, question 5, with base changing, it was soooo easy to do with turing. I think it would been a lot harder with C++

[Martin]

Turing's a nice language to use for low level contests because of its easy syntax
