High School Programming

[chip]

Hi fellow cunackians...

i'm in my 1st year of high school and in computers I am using a program called Turing. I don't know if anyone is familiar with it but it would be convenient for me if I had the program at home. If anyone has it or knows where to get it...please help me out...it would e really appreciated. Btw...I need Turing version 4.0.5! Thanks so much everyone! :D

hey,
I asked my hubby about this... he said way back in his day, they used it (he had it on floppy disc- that's how long ago he's talking about) and you could get a compiler when you bought a book about it.

Yes, as julieonmymind pointed out, it’s a very old programming language! Why does your school use such a language? maybe coz it's a Canadian invention?

I’ve never used it before but I know Prof. James Cordy, the person who invented it. He is currently the chair of School of Computing at Queen’s University and I see him around a lot. I can ask him if you’re really serious. The inventor would definitely have the compiler :D

Found it! :D

There is no version 4.0.5

The version you're looking for, which is licensed to the Ministry of Education of Ontario, Canada, is Turing Version 4.0.3

You can download it from here:
http://vaughanss.on.ca/11/turing/setup.exe

I downloaded it too just incase it gets removed from that website. If the download link doesn't work let me know. btw. if you read the license on the image below it say that turing may be redistributed to students if the school bought the appropriate license.

You can also find useful Turing tutorials and help on this forum:

omg thanks Boo thats exactly what I wanted!! thanks so much!! Now I can be wayy ahead of the class...muhahhaahaha this is great thanks so much...ur the best

oh ya the thing abt using the old version...im not even supposed to learn turing till grade 10 but since im in a enhanced program we do one step higher work and next year im gonno let go of this lame software and use java which will probably be a bit better!!

Thanks a lot again Boo! :D :D :D

Hey i actually did this last year. I did at Jarvis CI, we also learned Turing in grade 10. BTW is there any chance that you also go to Jarvis CI
