HELP-asterisks

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I am trying to make an asterisk move across the screen on a certain row.

What is the problem you are having?
Unfortunately I am very confused on how to do this. If anybody can help me then please do.

Use a for loop and the locate (x, y) command. Hint: use the for loop variable

for x 1..10

x being the for loop variable

Let me rephrase the question. How would I make a turing program that asks the user to input the row number, and the output of the program is an asterisk moving across the screen on the row that was entered.

You can use the same answer that I gave before. I know exactly what you want, and it can be done in six lines of code.

Could you please post the code, and explain what is happening in every line, so that I can understand what each line does. This will enhance my knowledge of turing. I am new to turing so I am not so sure what to do. If you could help me out I would be grateful.

Why not ask your teacher? Or try it? I will not post complete code for you.

I just want to point out that you can use variables as parameters in your for loop. So this is totally valid:

Turing:

for i : low_var .. high_var

if you will not give me the code,
then I will not help you either.

Uh, help us with what? None of us need help from you at the moment, thank you very much Mr. Important.

Um... what? We don't do your work for you here. Check out the Turing Walkthrough for some tutorials (specifically the one on control structures), do some searching around, and read the first couple of posts in this thread. For now though:
