[TIB] Re: data type issue
Well, you could always just save every roll to a list, and just display
the list - the OS formats the output for you. Simply:
:A->L1(B)
Where A is the number that was rolled, L1 is the list, and B is the
list's index. This would be the option to choose to accomlplish your
'sucess checking.' Comparisons on a list are done like so:
:A>L1(B)
:A=L1(B)
etc.
I think you can take it from there.
But if you must have string output, it can be done. There really isn't a
simple way to enter numerical data into a string from a variable though.
Try this code [note, I'm using TI-83 tokens]:
:Str1+sub("123456",A,1)->Str1
Where A is your roll and Str1 is your string. Formatting the string is
an exercise left up to the reader.
