"get" help

[foo fighter]

how do i make a get command where the user doesn't have to press enter after typing in a word or number or somethin like that [/b]

Turing:

var c : string (1) getch (c) put "you pressed : ", c

works for a single character. If you put getch() in a loop, you could get whole words

[foo fighter]

alright well i understand how the strings work but it doesnt seem to work with int

this is what ive tried:

var number : int (1)
getch number[/b]

[Tony]

it works for characters only.

if you want a digit, you getch() it as a character, and then strint() convert it to a digit

[foo fighter]

could i get an example, cause i'm not familiar with strint commands

[Tony]

Turing:

var c : string (1) getch (c) if strintok (c) then     put strint (c), " is more than 5 :: ", strint (c) > 5 end if

code:

var stuff :char put "please press a letter key" stuff := getchar put "you pressed the ",stuff," key"

Try that

Ok im done with getch stuff. now i have a new problem, i cant divide integers

take at look:

var bi, binary : int

put "Enter a number: "
get bi

binary := bi / 2

when i divide by 2, i get "assigned value wrong type" 2 is high-lighted

That's because binary is an integer. But division using / returns a real number. (Think: 13 / 2).

Alternatives are to use div, as in

code:

binary := bi div 2

Or use round, as in

code:

binary := round (bi / 2)
