strint help

[beamer]

does anyone know how to get strint to work? I can't seem to get my inputed number to convert into a number to compare with a sum of 2 random numbers . any help would be greatly appreciated.

Turing:

put strint ("1") + 1

or just have user input the number directly

Turing:

var num : int get num put num + 1

then there's no need for strint()

Like so:

code:

var s : string var i : int get s % ie s = "12345" i := strint(s)

I suggest that you also pay a little attention to the "strintok" command. Useful for errortraping later.

yeah you could go:

code:

var input : string var interger : int loop     put "Enter a number: " ..     get input     exit when strintok (input) end loop interger := strint (input)

Even better if you give the user some feedback on incorrect input.

code:

loop     put "Enter a number: " ..     get input     exit when strintok (input)     put "How about an actual number this time, wiseguy." end loop

If it helps so see the control flow a bit more clearly.

code:

loop     put "Enter a number: " ..     get input       if strintok (input) then         exit     else         put "How about an actual number this time, wiseguy."     end if end loop
