I need to change strings to numbers. I downloaded a function VAL# that's supposed to work but I can't get it to work. This is very important because I'm re-writing a check register program so that it has more features.(I originaly wrote in basic 7.1.)Where can I get a val function that works? |

Blitz will auto-convert between variable types for you, most of the time...a$ = "10" b = a$ c# = "42.5678" print a print b print c# print int("30") + int(a$); Notice I force the conversion to integer here ; to ensure an addition rather than a string concatenation! |

Use blitz's int() function:number = int(string$)Edit: Whoops... Pete already mentioned it :) |
