Loop within a loop?

[TipsyCzar]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
<I'm trying to add a loop within a loop>


What is the problem you are having?
<Anything I try brings me to Syntax Error>


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
<Tried adding names to the loops, like : loop 1, end loop 1>


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
<The code would look something like this (the code isn't used for anything, only wrote it as an example) :>

Turing:

loop 1 put  "Enter a number" loop 2 get number if number = varname then put "You gessed correctly" exit loop 2 elsif number not= varname then end loop 1 end if

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
<Turing 4.1>

You need one end loop for every loop command, and one exit for every loop that you want to be able to exit. For example:

Turing:

loop     put "Enter a number"     loop         get number         if number = varname then             put "You guessed correctly"             exit % this will exit the inner loop, but not the outer one         else             put "You guessed incorrectly"         end if     end loop     % you should probably have a way to exit this loop too, or it will loop forever end loop

Here's the last part of a program I'm working on (note that the loops start are earlier on in the code)

Turing:

%Play again put "Your balance is currently $" ..     put balance ..         put " . Do you want to play again with the same numbers? yes/no"             get answer             if answer = "yes" then             end loop         elsif answer = "no" then     exit end if %all possibilities have ended. Restart the loop end loop

The first end loop go the error (Syntax Error at "loop". Expected "end if"). The elsif got the error ("elsif" without matching "if"). The end if got the error (Syntax Error at "if". Expected "end loop"). The rest of the code has no errors.[/i]

You need to match the start of a block structure to its end (like a loop ... end loop or an if ... end if structure). You cannot mix-and-match.

OK:

code:

loop     if     end if end loop

Also OK:

code:

if     loop     end loop end if

Wrong:

code:

loop     if     end loop end if

See how they aren't matched? That's what's wrong.

In the future, please paste all the relevant parts of your code. It's harder to understand what your problem is if I can't see the whole thing.
