My CompSci teacher wanted me to "write a function that returns a larger of two numbers". I'm extremely new at Turing and wondering what needs to be done in order for this to work.

This is what I have right now, but it comes back with errors.

var num1, num2 :int
put "Enter two different numbers."
get num1
get num2

if num1 > num2 then
put num1

if num2 > num1 then
put num2

What does the error say?

[MPVoiD]

It says "Syntax error at 'end of file'. Expected 'end if'.

you forgot to close your if statements with "end if"

Turing:

var num1, num2 :int put "Enter two different numbers." get num1 get num2 % just puts a blank line put "" % you're if statements weren't closed with an "end if" if num1 > num2 then put num1 end if % < always add after your if statement if num2 > num1 then put num2 end if % < here too

By the way everything after a "%" sign is a comment and ignored by the compiler

oh, so I need to type "end if" after each if statment. Thank you very much - it work's now.

How would I make this program work using a function?

Do you know how to use functions at all?

The Turing Walkthrough has a pretty good guide on functions if you don't.
