strint help

-----------------------------------

does anyone know how to get strint to work? I can't seem to get my inputed number to convert into a number to compare with a sum of 2 random numbers  :( .  any help would be greatly appreciated.

put strint ("1") + 1

or just have user input the number directly

var num : int
get num
put num + 1

then there's no need for strint()

Like so:

var s : string
var i : int

get s % ie s = "12345"
i := strint(s)

I suggest that you also pay a little attention to the "strintok" command. Useful for errortraping later.

yeah you could go:
var input : string
var interger : int
loop
    put "Enter a number: " ..
    get input
    exit when strintok (input)
end loop
interger := strint (input)

Even better if you give the user some feedback on incorrect input.

loop 
    put "Enter a number: " .. 
    get input 
    exit when strintok (input) 
    put "How about an actual number this time, wiseguy."
end loop

    get input 
    exit when strintok (input) 
    put "How about an actual number this time, wiseguy."
end loop 


If it helps so see the control flow a bit more clearly.

loop 
    put "Enter a number: " .. 
    get input
 
    if strintok (input) then
        exit
    else
        put "How about an actual number this time, wiseguy."
    end if
end loop
