questions about string(1) converting

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

hi guys 
im new to turing, so today im just trying to play around with  the codes

and i found a problem (which i dont know what's goin on and how to solve it :f)


here's the codes

var number : string(1)
get mumber
put number 

it does work when you run it
[b]but once you enter a negative number, it wont  run properly anymore, it wont return the input[/b]
it turns out to be "input string is too large for the string varibale"
so, how can i get a negative number work in string? or how can i convert a string type negative number to interger type?

btw..this is what i got when i try to convert a string type negative to interger...\\\
"string passed to strrint is not correct format" 

please help out here :\

xD Mumbers.

Anyways
get will put the entire input string into the variable you give. The string number has room for only one character. Since negative numbers will essentially need two chracteracters "-" and "7". This breaks numbers.

You don't need to place an upper limit on numbers. You only need to do this when you use getch().

Uhg >.< I like to post-edit too much. Doesn't work when people answer like the lightning king.

Removing the upper limit should work for numbers with  Integer.

Simplest programing on the face of the planet, GOD! I wish java was this easy.
View.Set ("Graphics,offscreenonly,nobuttonbar")
var s : string := ""
loop
    if hasch then
        s := s + getchar
        Input.Flush
        delay (100)
    end if
    put s
    View.Update
    cls
end loop

The only difference between getch () and getchar. getch in turing is a "procedure" and getchar is "function", because in turing, procedures only take values, while functions take and give values.
