Turbo Pascal Help Needed... (1 Viewer)

[B35tY]

We're learning Pascal as an introduction to structured programming, and i'm having a lot of trouble understanding how loops work. I get the general concept, but whatever i type comes out with a random error message, different each time.

If it helps, i'm using Turbo Pascal 7.0, and my knowledge is very limited (my highest achievement so far is to make a Celcius to Farenheit temp converter!).

Can anyone show me a program they have written that has worked, so i can see what i should be doing. Even when i directly copy something a tutorial tells me to type, i get an error message. However, if you found a tutorial extremely useful, link me to it and i will see if it helps.

Thanks in advance.....

If it's not working when you copy it from a tutorial, then I doubt it is your code that's wrong. In C++ and Java, you have to include or import all the data libraries and classes you're going to use. If you don't do this, your code, correct as it is, won't work.

1) what error message?
2) give an example of the entire code for one of your programs which does not work.

thanks for your concern anyway.
