Turing:

function NamePrompt () : string     var name : string     put "Enter your first name: " ..     get name     result name end NamePrompt function Inputs () : boolean     var tempName : string     tempName := NamePrompt ()     result true end Inputs function checkInput () : boolean     var checkInfo : string     var tempName : string     loop         put "Is this information Correct?(yes/no): " ..         get checkInfo         if checkInfo = "yes" then             put "Thanks ", tempName, "!" % There should be a name here but I don't know how to get it here             result true         else             tempName := NamePrompt ()             put "Thanks ", tempName, "!"         end if         exit when checkInfo = "yes" or checkInfo = "Yes"     end loop end checkInput %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% var InputMain : boolean var CheckInput : boolean var magicWord : string loop     InputMain := Inputs ()     CheckInput := checkInput ()     put "Do you want to re-run the program: " ..     get magicWord     exit when magicWord not= "Yes" and magicWord not= "yes" end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.11

when you call checkinput, your declare tempname as an empty string, instead of calling a function to do it, thats the issue.

passing functions into functions can be annoying if your not careful, i dont usually think its required in this case as the function should do both the verification, etc, however if you wanted to use it over in other blocks i guess you could do something like this...

dont copy my code but you can use it to solve your problem for school.

code:

%%a reusable function to CONFIRM things. function confirmed : boolean     var ans: string := ""     put "Are you sure this is correct? (yes/no)"         get ans     if ans = "yes" then         result true     end if     result false end confirmed %%get a valid user name function getName : string     var name: string := ""         loop         put "please Enter your name"         get name                 exit when confirmed         put ""     end loop        result name end getName %%get a valid age function getAge : int     var age : int := 0     loop         put "enter your age"         get age                 exit when confirmed and age >= 0         put ""     end loop     result age end getAge %%init var userName : string := getName var userAge : int := getAge %%sucess put "Thank you for your time ", userName, " who is ", userAge
