# turing(1)

assistant to learn algorithms and programming languages

## NAME

turing - assistant to learn algorithms and programming languages

## SYNOPSIS

**turing**

## DESCRIPTION

**turing** is an assistant to learn algorithms and programming languages

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.
