ok, it's me again. the dude with the extremely basic
BASIC question. anyway, i'm looking at your explanation, and i have
a question. i used it, and it works great, but i don't understand
one thing.
Output 45,40,"You have $"&string(money)
that all makes sense. converts a number stored in money to a
string. ok, so it displays
You have $(value of money)
but then you have
&" "
at the end of money. to me, it would seem it would clear out three
spaces AFTER the value of money instead of the actual value. this
isn't true, but i would like to know why it does that?
anyway, thanks for the help.
>Output 45,40,"You have
$"&string(money)&" "
>& - connects two strings (like + on the other 8X calcs that do
strings)
>string(money) - converts a REAL number into a string... the number
300 becomes
>"300" so that it can be displayed in the same command
>" " - to cover up whatever number was there
before, make this string with
>extra spaces if the number will have more than 3 digits.
