'''Turing''' is a [[High-level programming language|high-level]], [[General-purpose programming language|general purpose]] [[programming language]] developed in 1982 by [[Ric Holt]] and [[James Cordy]], at [[University of Toronto]] in Ontario, Canada. It was designed to help students taking their first [[computer science]] course learn how to code. Turing is a descendant of [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]], [[Euclid (programming language)|Euclid]], and [[SP/k]] that features a clean [[Syntax (programming languages)|syntax]] and precise machine-independent [[Semantics (computer science)|semantics]].

Turing 4.1.0 is the latest stable version. Versions 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 do not emit stand alone [[.exe]] files. Versions pre-4.1.0 have outdated syntax and functions.
