Turing 4.0.5?

[Flikerator]

At school we have 4.0.4 and it doesn't have Math.Distance() and I need it for my program that i made at school (Yes i used it without being able to....use it). So I went to "update latest version" and it says on the holtsoft site that "4.0.4" is the latest version when i have 4.0.5 at home :/

What is going on?

EDIT - I may not have turing 4.0.5 at home but it has a bunch of functions like Math.Distance that this version doesn't.

First on That has been a problem on there site for several years now, my advice, wouls be to talk to your teacher and maybe he can get in contact with Holt, other than that you will have to try something else.

The newest version IS 4.0.4, it's 4.0.4d (4.0.5).

If you need to use Math.Distance then just make your own MathDistance function:

Turing:

function MathDistance (x1, y1, x2, y2 : real) : real     var dx : real := x1 - x2     var dy : real := y1 - y2     result sqrt (dx * dx + dy * dy) end Distance

Alright, thanks for the function.

When I goto Help and then "About Turing" it says 4.0.5 with no d or anything so i just assumed thats what it is.

We had Math.Distance last year, I assume when they wiped the network they installed the wrong version.

No problem .

Interesting, maybe someone was just messing around with the Turing files...
