Exponents in Turing?

[qmanjr5]

What is the command to put 1 to the exponent of 10 and will it do it?

Say if I put 1 to the exponent of 10, would it display the answer?

And how do I do it[/img]

I believe the operator is ** in turing, ie 2 ** 2 = 4

Although you could save yourself the time and just output 1, since 1 to the power of anything is still 1.

If you enter

Turing:

put 2**2

it will output 4. Whenever you enter an equation into the put command, it will display the answer

Okay, I get what you're saying, but, I'm not sure about using variables and such. If I did

Turing:

var equation1 := int get equation1 put equation1

And the user inputs "2**2"
would it display 4 or "2**2"?



EDIT: Okay, that doesn't work. how would I make it so an inputted equation would then be evaluated and then outputted?

You could try it as a string but i doubt that would work.
your best bet would be to get 2 variables

code:

var a,b:int get a get b put a**b

then all you would just have to create a way to have your program ask for what type of equation you are going to use.
maybe display the equation and ask for each variable individually.

code:

put "(x**y)/z" put "enter x" get x put "enter y" get y put "enter z" get z put (x**y)/z
