.PP
\fBturing\fR
is an assistant to learn algorithms and programming languages
.PP
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\&.
.PP
It provides a lighter alternative to the well\-known Algobox, which is the currently de\-facto widely used solution\&.
.PP
It provides two work modes:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Algorithm mode
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Uses a "natural" pseudocode language similar to the one used in Algobox and school books\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c

.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Assisted development

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\&.
