simple if statement question XD

[doughbluegurll]

um i want it to only output when the variable is an integer is that possible?
like say i have variables x y and quotient where quotient = x/y but i only want it to put quotient when it is an integer(when its divisible)

thanks!~ (hope i didn't break ne rules >_>)

use mod. If x mod y = 0 then x/y = integer.

you would have to know a bit about type casting/type conversion(converting on type, for example an integer, to another, like a string)
you should look into the realstr, intstr, and strintok commands.

for example:

Turing:

var inputString : string %create string variable get inputString %get input if strintok(inputString) then %if it can be converted to an integer     put "you entered an integer!" elsif strrealok(inputString) then %check if string variablecan be converted to real variable     put "you entered a real number!" else %not int or real     put "you didn't enter an integer or a real number!" end if

if you still don't understand type conversion, you should look it up in the Turing help file

TheGuardian, that is not a good way to go about doing this. Mod is best.

Mod returns the remainder of division. Remember remainders from back in grade 2? So, if there is a remainder, the result of x/y will not be an integer. If x mod y = 0, there is no remainder, x and y divide equally, and you get an integer.

code:

if x mod y = 0 then     put x / y end if

Or as an alternative:

Turing:

if round (x / y) = x / y then     put x / y end if

okies got it!~ thanks so much!~
