Turing Menu for beginners

[DaveAngus]

This code here is very simple and great for anyone starting out in turing.
It only used simple put and get statements,
if statements,
and loops.
If you would like any help with learning how to do this assignment then message me or reply to this and I will be glad to help you.


*****Assignment*****
Create a menu that gives the guests a minimum of 4 choices.
Output a total at the end that includec GST and PST

There is a (2000) delay after every option so that the user has time to process their new total.

Anyone like this code?

[BigBear]

I am just wondering why you are converting the string entered by the user into an interger. I understand you want to use getch which means your variable must be a string 1 character in length but you put the option in your if statement in quatations.
PREVIOUS

code:

getch (ch) numapp := strint (ch) if numapp = 1 then total := 7.89 elsif numapp = 2 then total := 4.95 elsif numapp = 3 then total := 9.99 elsif numapp = 4 then total := 0 end if

TO

code:

getch (ch) if numapp = "1" then total := 7.89 elsif numapp = "2" then total := 4.95 elsif numapp = "3" then total := 9.99 elsif numapp = "4" then total := 0 end if

Also you could ask the user prior the displaying the selection if they are interested in that course. For example asking if they want dessert before showing the selection but still allowing them to choose none.

[DaveAngus]

THanks BigBear for the input.
So what your saying is I should just take the

numapp := strint (ch)

part out?

This could be made a LOT shorter. However, i commend your effort. Try learning more about turing to enhance your knowledge.

You know the point is to explain how he/she could do such a thing not to keep make random comments that are so vague there is no point to them.

This was made for Beginners.
If I start using arrays and what not,
BEGINNERS wont understand it.
I am trying to keep it very simple!

If I was teaching introductory programming in a high school environment, I think this would be an appropriate program to demonstrate different control statements . No need to focus on clever optimization yet!

[DaveAngus]

Thats what i was saying was it not? Look at my code.
When I say keeping it simple I mean use lots of puts and gets,
no arrays
and use some simple if statements.

I know this is for beginners but you should have it round the grand total and for a more "advanced" tutorial (if you do one), use the GUI module, it makes everything more user friendly.

Thanks for the input SIXAXIS.
For the rounding, are you meaning to two decimal points or to the nearest dollar?

Thanks again,
