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

[vdemons]

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)

[Tony]

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

[vdemons]

but can't colourback(variable)cls be string or interger?

[vdemons]

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)

[Tony]

It doesn't really make any sense to have

code:

delay("hello, string")

You need an integer.

[vdemons]

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

[vdemons]

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?

[Raknarg]

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

[vdemons]

thanks i understand now! BTW i like ur Momo pic

[Raknarg]

Thanks. First one to get it. It's from Nightmares and Daydreams, for the record ;P

[vdemons]

Nightmares and Daydreams, what is that?

[Raknarg]

4 days before the Day of Black Sun, Aang has a bunch of nightmares. Appa and Momo have an awsome swordfight XD

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