If and elsif error.

[KevinW]

Can anyone help with this program? I haven't used Turing in a while, but i'm trying to create a randomized password maker. Here's the script, the problem is that the "word (i)= num/letter" isn't allowed.

code:

var word : string var letter : string var num, num2, choose, number : int for i : 1 .. 10     randint (num, 0, 9)     randint (num2, 0, 26)     letter := intstr (num2)     randint (choose, 0, 1)     if choose = 0 then         word (i) := num     elsif choose = 1 then         word (i) := letter     end if end for put "Your new randomized password is ", word

something like?

Turing:

var word : string := "" var letter : char var num, num2 : int for i : 1 .. 10     randint (num, 0, 9)     randint (num2, 65, 90)     if num > 4 then          %% instead of having choose, just use the previous num, 0 - 4 its the same chance of getting 5-9 so its 50 - 50         letter := chr (num2)     else         letter := intstr (num)     end if     word := word + letter end for put word

could be a simpler way o_o but i cant think on top of my head right now

your problem was, trying to add an int to a string, which is not allowed, so "cast" the int to a char or a string then add on to itself

or just...

code:

... word (i) := intstr (num) %or letter, whatever it is ...
