First, please use syntax tags, like this:

code:

[syntax="turing"] %%code here [/syntax]

As for your problem, do you know what type of value your constants are (i.e. are they strings? or integers?). By declaring their type, you can be sure what type they are. Like this:

Turing:

const x : int := 10

By putting quotation marks around the value of your variables, you have inadvertently made them strings, which is why your program will not run.

This is because for loops only work when you give them integers.

Turing:

const start:= "10" const finish:= "1" for decreasing count: start .. finish put 12 div count end for

Should be ...

Turing:

const start := "10" const finish := "1" for decreasing count : strint (start) .. strint (finish)     put 12 div count end for
