Turing Programming Language

Turing is a Pascal-like programming language developed in 1982 by Ric Holt and James Cordy, then of University of Toronto, Canada. Turing is a descendant of Euclid that features a clean syntax and precise machine-independent semantics. It is used primarily as a teaching language at the high school and university level. Two other versions exist, Object-Oriented Turing and Turing Plus, a systems programming variant. Turing is available from Holt Software Associates in Toronto. Versions for Unix, Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh are available. Descendants included Turing Plus and Object-Oriented Turing A brief example of Turing is the following recursive function to calculate a factorial.
   function  factorial (n: int) : int     assert n >= 0     if n = 0 then       result 1     else       result n * factorial(n-1)     end if   end factorial     var n: int   put "Please input an integer :" ..   get n   put "The factorial of ", n, " is ", factorial(n)
