Order of Operations:  Use brackets to ensure that Turing does operations in the order you want.  Otherwise it will evaluation mathematical statements from left-to-right following the order of operations:

1. brackets
2. exponents
3. multiplication
4. division
5. addition
6. subtraction

Rounding Real Values to Integer Values

Turing provides three ways to round a real value for storage in an integer variable.

1. floor - always rounds down to the nearest integer value
2. ceil (short for "ceiling") - always rounds up to the nearest integer value
3. round - performs a proper mathematical rounding based on the first decimal value

Example Code:

put 3.14               % outputs 3.14 to the screen

put floor(3.14)        % rounds down - outputs 3 to the screen

put round(3.14)        % rounds properly - outputs 3 to the screen

put ceil(3.14)         % rounds up - outputs 4 to the screen

put 2.718              % outputs 2.718 to the screen

put floor(2.718)       % rounds down - outputs 2 to the screen

put round(2.718)       % rounds properly - outputs 3 to the screen

put ceil(2.718)        % rounds up - outputs 3 to the screen

Integer Division

Integer division involves finding two values - the quotient and the remainder.  For example, to solve 10/3 (or 10 divided by 3), we ask, "how many times does 3 divide into 10?"  The answer is 3 times, so the quotient is 3.  Since 3 times 3 is 9, there must be a remainder. 10 minus 9 is 1, so the remainder is 1.

Turing provides two functions for performing integer division.

1. div (short for "division") - determine the quotient
2. mod (short for "modulo") - determines the remainder

Example Code:

put 10 / 3          % ouputs the real division to the screen; the answer is 3.33333

put 10 div 3        % outputs the quotient of 3

put 10 mod 3        % outputs the remainder of 1
