Object Oriented Turing Help?

I can't find any documentation, any help, or any tutorials that can answer these simple questions:

How do I retrieve certain parts of a string or integer, how do I convert types, and how can I find the remainder of division?

1) The equivelent in python is:

print 'Hello'[1:4]
>>> ell
print 'Boo'[-3]
>>> B

2) So what? Should I just go:
var new : int := old

3) but isn't % the comment sign?

EDIT: Wowzor...where'd your post go? :rolleyes:

It was completely wrong (I thought) so I removed it.

Hehe, I didn't know you could remove posts, so I thought it was a glitch. =S

But after much experimentation:

put 5 mod 3

will give you 2. Whoppee.

I have to learn Turing for a computer science course.

It wil be quite a dissapointment going from C(++). :(

Where do you live by the way? I don't see Turing being a practical high school course language at all...

You will find it very easy though, no worries. ;)

Near Toronto, but I won't go any further off topic. :D

Wow! That would explain it!! Right beside the University of Waterloo too. O_O

Could you PM me your MSN address? We could use eachother as study help for this course. :rolleyes:

Okay. Here it is.

string to integer

var x : string := "4"

put strint(x)+2

integer to string

var x := 4

put intstr(x)+"2"

retrieving parts of a string

put "word"(1)

put "word"(2)

put "word"(3)

put "word"(4)

put "word"(1..4)

That all took a while to figure out... -_@
