hi

can switch(alerts go bigger than three choices?

thanks

No, beyond that, we tend to use input()'s instead.

because i am making a calculater with alerts and var's and well you know calculator stuff.

and;

switch(alert("[numberA] ? [numberB]",,"+","-","%"(and then there is meant to be a "*" but it wont work,

how can i get around this?

switch(input("[numberA]?[numberB]","Do what?") in list("+","-","/","*"))

Note: / is divide...% is percent... But it does kinda look like divide =\

thanks for that but,

i still cant use all four math symbols.

What do you mean? Make sure you have If statements after it...
if("+")
alert("[numberA+numberB]")
if("-")
etc etc etc

well you cant have more than 3 if("")'s in a switch(alert

foomer suggested using input's and i was wondering how i could use inputs instead of switc(alerts.

thanks

I suggest looking at AbyssDragon's "SET (SET Evaluates Things)" library. It's awesome. It would let your user input math operators without an alert, even.

ok thats a little to complicated for me.

all i need to know now is how to use inputs in the same way as switch alerts.

I like this way best..
var/math = input("Which operation?") in list ("+","-","*","/")
switch(math)
          if("+")
                    //do add stuff...

Sounds to me like a misplaced ( or ". Those can cause massive amounts of errors even in otherwise bugless code. Check over your new sections of code and make sure that your parenthesis and quotes match up.

well i got it down to know errors by moving the code around.
but it still does not work;

here is my code

mob
Login()
switch(math)
if("+")
numberC = numberA + numberB
usr << "[numberC]"
if("-")
numberC = numberA - numberB
usr << "[numberC]"
if("*")
numberC = numberA * numberB
usr << "[numberC]"
if("/")
numberC = numberA / numberB
usr << "[numberC]"

var/numberA = input("First Number?") as num
var/numberB = input("Second Number?") as num
var/numberC = 0
var/math = input("Which operation?") in list ("+","-","*","/")

when you log in;

runtime error: bad client
proc name:
usr: null
src:
call stack:
: ()

you forgot a ..() in the Login()...which means their client and etc. don't get initialized

e-also, you can't just do var/math=input..blablabla, define var/math with nothing attached, and on Login(), usr.math=input...etc.

You didn't do what I told you to do :P.

Wrong. The only thing calling ..() in Login() should do is set up the basic things like a location. Unless you call Login() manually, a client is already connected; it's generally only semi-safe to assume usr is the same as src, but otherwise there shouldn't be a problem. In this case, usr was not correct, and that's why the code failed. It had nothing to do with missing ..().

i got it to work, instead of having the switch(math)

i just had switch(input(

and it works now, still trying to work out a graphical on though.
