Computer Studies Assignment Help

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I got an assignment from my teacher and I don't understand how to do this question.


What is the problem you are having?
I think I wrote this wrong, but whenever I enter any 3 side lengths, it always shows up as a triangle, even if it's not.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I went through my code to see if something was wrong, but I don't understand why my program isn't working.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

%A program that has the user enter three lengths of sides. The program determines whether the figure is a triangle. %Asks the user to enter the length of side 1 loop     put "Please enter the length of side 1: " ..     var side1 : real     get side1     %Asks the user to enter the length of side 2     put "Please enter the length of side 2: " ..     var side2 : real     get side2     %Asks the user to enter the length of side 3     put "Please enter the length of side 3: " ..     var side3 : real     get side3     %Calculates whether the figure is a triangle or not     if (side1 + side2 > side3)             or (side2 + side3 > side1)             or (side1 + side3 > side2) then         put "This figure is a triangle."         put ""     elsif (side1 + side2 < side3)             or (side2 + side3 < side1)             or (side1 + side3 < side2) then         put "This figure is not a triangle."         put ""     end if end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Turing 4.1.1

Instead of putting elsif try putting else, it's much easier. So this is what you would have :

else then
put "This is not a triangle."
