### Train
|
|
|
|
TRAIN is a program which uses the computer to generate problems with random initial conditions to teach about the time-speed-distance relationship (distance = rate x time). You then input your answer and the computer verifies your response.
|
|
|
|
TRAIN is merely an example of a student-generated problem. Maximum fun (and benefit) comes more from _writing_ programs like this as opposed to solving the specific problem posed. Exchange your program with others—you solve their problem and let them solve yours.

|
|
TRAIN was originally written in FOCAL by one student for use by others in his class. It was submitted to us by Walt Koetke, Lexington High School, Lexington, Mass.
