Can you assign a variable as a delay?

[TipsyCzar]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
<I'm trying to assign an integer or real variable as a delay value>


What is the problem you are having?
<"Argument is the wrong type" appears on all delays that use variables (other delays are fine)>


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

Turing:

var time1:real   time1:= 2000   var answer1:string   put "Divide the time by half?"   get answer1          if answer1 = "yes" then          time1:= time1 / 2          end if  delay (time1)

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
<4.1.1>

delay() only takes integer values. You are trying to give it real values.

If you need precision to fractions of a millisecond, then you will need to convert the real to an int on the fly by calling delay (int (time1)). Otherwise, just change time1 to an int and you'll be fine.

You can use the round function

Turing:

delay  (round (time1))
