What is turing

turing is:

Turing is a free and cross-platform app whose main goal is to assist the learning of algorithms and programming languages by providing easy-to-use development tools to all.

It provides a lighter alternative to the well-known Algobox, which is the currently de-facto widely used solution.

It provides two work modes:

  • Algorithm mode
    • Uses a “natural” pseudocode language similar to the one used in Algobox and school books.
    • Assisted development
  • Program mode
    • Uses Python, for the more experienced

In both modes, the code can be debugged and executed step-by-step to facilitate the problem-solving side of development.
