Typecasting in Turing

[DtY]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Convert an integer to a string so I can attach it to a string using +


What is the problem you are having?
I need to set the screen size based on the size of the level loaded, when I add the size using + in setscreen(), I get the error that strings and integers cannot be added together.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
* Searched the forum (of course)
* using +, described above
* string(levelWidthPx), which would work in some other languages, told me that string() needed a value known at compile time
* Looked for another function that would take two integers, and only set the screen size.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
None

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Newest version, 4.1.1, I think.

intstr() . Similarly, realstr(), strreal(), strint(), etc.

Kudos for the excellent problem description, incidentally, that reads much better than the majority of the posts in this forum.

you can either create a new variable which is assigned to the intstr of the number then add the string to you new variable or make a string varible = intstr of the num + string

Thanks both of you
I will try that tomorrow in class, and I'll post if it doesn't work
