Error Proofing Arrays

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

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I'm in the midst of error proofing my program, and at the moment I need to make sure that people enter the right type of input into my arrays. (real) 


What is the problem you are having?
I have no idea how to do that. 


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
 I tried using strintok/strint but it didn't work. 

Post any relevant code
for itemCount : 1..numBooks 
    put "Enter a title:"
    get arritemDescrip (itemCount) :*
    cls  
    put "Enter number of copies you would like to recieve of ",arritemDescrip(itemCount),":"
    get arritemQuantity(itemCount)
    cls  
    put "Enter price of an individual copy of ",arritemDescrip(itemCount),":"
    get arritemPrices(itemCount)
    arrtotalPrice(itemCount) := arritemQuantity(itemCount) * arritemPrices(itemCount)
    cls 
end for 


Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Turing 4.1.1

Have you learned about conditional statements?

A conditional statement is the same as an if statement. I'm sure if you're working with arrays then you've probably learned ifs by now. 

strint/strintok are for converting strings to integers. To convert to real use strreal/strrealok.
