Removed Images[]
Pressing ENTER here would store the coordinates into xc and yc, respectively.
The string put into the input box will be stored into the variable x.
When ENTER is pressed, the value 4 will be stored into x.
These three images removed from the page due to their not existing on this wiki. Since the text has already been copied from Wikibooks, should the images be copied as well? They have been released into the public domain, if it makes any difference. Yoshord 16:56, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Request[]
I think you may be able to turn alpha off so that you do not have to press alpha. I was looking for somthng in catalog and the help in the status bar for request said string, var [,alphaon/off]. How would I type that to get it to work. Schuetrumpf2 07:33, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
- The thing that did work and a few things that didn't: The default value for alphaon/off is on. 0 will turn the alpha off, making it easer to enter numbers. Strangely, both true and false will leave the alphaon/off on. --Yoshord 01:08, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
That may be the same basic principle of the getkey() function. The CAS is recognizing 0 as false and the word false as a variable or a string. Just as each key has its own numerical value, so do true and false. In fact, 1 and 0 may even be their getkey() value. This is not necessarily correct, it is just my best assumption. I will test this theory tomorrow. Schuetrumpf2 03:25, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
- I would have guessed that it was to match the Line and similar functions' last parameter. Even though a line can, in theory, have multiple states, it only has "on" and "off" currently. --Yoshord 03:42, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
That may be true too, I don't know. You have more experience with programming so you are probably right. I tried typing it into ord, but I could not get the ord function to work. It would only return the value of the first character in the string. Oh well, 0 works and is much easier to type that false anyway. As long as it works, I'm good.
