Putting user input into commands "colourback()cls" and "delay()"?

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

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I am trying to put user input into commands "colourback()cls" and "delay()"


What is the problem you are having?
When ever i run it it says "Argument is wrong type", can a variable be placed in
the parameter, such as  colourback(variable)cls or delay(variable)

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

Yes, but it has to be the right type (integer value).

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

and i also want to do this with delay

var turingdelay:real:=1000

put "Please enter your disired time delay: "..
    get inputdelay

turingdelay:=inputdelay*1000 

. . . 

delay (turingdelay)

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

It doesn't really make any sense to have
[code]
delay("hello, string")
[/code]
You need an integer.

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

but its a variable representing a number, so theory it should work right?

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

okay, i get it now but what about colourback(variable)cls does it have to be an integer as well, because that command accepts numbers and strings right?

Nope, only integers. And only 0 - 255, btw.

P.S. there are also [tdoc]round[/tdoc], [tdoc]strint[/tdoc] that will make things work. Turing will require you to do type conversions yourself.
