| Post subject: | Problems regarding Font.Draw | ||
What is it you are trying to achieve? I'm trying to get my racing program working, and it mostly is. I have a bit of trouble caused by the output screen. What is the problem you are having? When I use Font.Draw to draw an array of a string variable, it works, but when I try to draw an array of a int variable, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because it's an int, and not a string, but I'm not sure how to fix it. The variable is needed to keep track of a balance, and is needed to be actively displayed. Describe what you have tried to solve this problem Nothing. I have no idea how to solve this problem. Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
Please specify what version of Turing you are using I'm not sure, sorry. |

if you read the error message, it should tell you just that -- it's expecting a string. You can check the documentation of exactly what is needed for Font.Draw The solution should be pretty obvious -- if the text argument is required to be a string, then you should supply a string, not an int. Luckily 1 and "1" look very similar when printed. |

But that's the problem though, because I need to output it as that int, but I still need to use it for calculations, and then output it as a new value again later. Is there some way I could convert an int into a string and back again? |

Font.Draw only draws the string and nothing else. So you only need to convert from int -> string, not the other way. How do you think this could be accomplished? |
