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")
|
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 round, strint that will make things work. Turing will require you to do type conversions yourself. |
