Syntax Error Help!

[Hoshi]

the for count command is not working. Turing says that the variable is not declared. Doesn't the count command not need to be declared

[Insectoid]

"for count" isn't a command.

"for i : 1..10" is though.

[Tony]

refer to examples in turing documentation -- for

[Hoshi]

what is wrong with this

var depth :int
var sum :int
get depth



for num: 1 .. depth
sum:= depth-3+2/num
exit when sum=num
put sum-num
end for

[Tony]

I don't know. What does the compiler say?

[Hoshi]

for num it says assigned value is the wrong type.

[Insectoid]

Integers don't like being divided. They love div though.

[tg851]

div will divide integers.floor,ceil,and round will divide 2 numbers to produce an integer of the result depending on the command

[chipanpriest]

its because you are trying to divide an integer, which you cannot do unless you round it. an integer is a whole number, thus if you are dividing 3 by 2, you will get a decimal, which is not an integer

[Aange10]

Which just means that you can't divide 3/2 and store it as an integer. 1.5 is not an integer. However, you may store that into a real.

Here is an example of Ceil,Dividing,Div, and floor.

Turing:

% Diving put 5 / 2 % = Outputs 2.5 REAL put 10 / 2 % = Outputs 2 REAL put 21 / 2 % = Outputs 10.5 REAL % Div { Divides without computing Remainders } put 5 div 2 % Outputs 2 INT put 10 div 2 % Outputs 5 INT put 21 div 2 % outputs 10 INT % Round put round (5 / 2) % Outputs 3 INT put round (10 / 2) % Outputs 5 INT put round (21 / 2) % Outputs 11 INT % Ceil {Rounds UP Always} put ceil (5 / 2) % Outputs 3 INT put ceil (10 / 2) % Outputs 5 INT put ceil (21 / 2) % Outputs 11 INT % Floor {Rounds Down Always} put floor (5 / 2) % Outputs 2 INT put floor (10 / 2) % Outputs 5 INT put floor (21 / 2) % Outputs 10 INT

Yea what he said and actually i didnt know about the ceil and floor commands either so thanks for that :p
