Turing-Help with Fractions

[skyterror999]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I'm have an assignment that requires me to make a 'fraction calculator'


What is the problem you are having?
The thing is, it only works for fractions with a single digit numerator and denominator. If the numerator or denominator has 2 digits or more, the output looks bad. I'll show you what I mean:

Turing:

Good:                            Bad: 3   4   7                        33    44    77 - + - = -                         -  +  -  =  - 5   5   5                         5     5     5

How do I make it so that the line between the numerator and denominators expands with the length of the digits of the numerator and denominator?

Turing:

procedure Add     var numerator12, numerator22, denominator, sumnumerator : int := 0     var numlength1, numlength2, denlength1, denlength2, gcdlength, space1, space2 : int     numerator12 := numerator1 * denominator2     numerator22 := numerator2 * denominator1     denominator := denominator1 * denominator2     sumnumerator := numerator12 + numerator22     GCD (sumnumerator, denominator)                             %performs procedure GCD to calculate GCD     var gcdnum : int := sumnumerator div gcd     var gcdden : int := denominator div gcd         put "****************************  ADDITION  **************************"     put ""     put "The sum is: "     put ""     put numerator1 : 6, numerator2 : 6, gcdnum : 6     put " " : 5, "-" : 3, "+" : 3, "-" : 3, "=" : 2, "-", "-" : 3     put denominator1 : 6, denominator2 : 6, gcdden : 6 end Add

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Turing 4.1.1

use an if statement before you draw your option.

if length(number) > 1 then
you know you'll need more "-"
else ....etc

thats one way you could do it, ofcourse theres an easier method, but try it out first!

here's my code so far (not sure if u can understand it...) :
