I am doing a project for class and i am a bit confused.

I need the sprite to say the largest number on the list i created, i am not sure of how to do that. I also need to order the numbers i posted in order from least to greatest.

please help/advice

Here:

when gf clicked
set [largest v] to [0]
set [counter v] to [0]
repeat <length of [list v]>
change [counter v] by (1)
if <(item (counter) of [list v]) > (largest)>
set [largest v] to (item (counter) of [list v])
end
end
say (largest) for (whatever) secs

^^ That is good for finding the largest but it won't put the others in order from smallest to largest. I can't give you the code right now but you may wish to take a look at this to help you (it orders numbers from largest to smallest but aslo includes words) - but should still be helpful smile

Good luck smile

end
add (largest) to [sort v]
delete (counter) of [list v]
set [largest v] to [0]
set [counter v] to [0]
end
say (item (1 v) of [sort v]) for (2) secs

Improved. How's this now?

That won't work, because counter will always be the last index on the list.


when gf clicked

set [passes v] to [0]

repeat (length of [list v] )  

set [index v] to (passes) // Set to 0 of you want it sorted small to large

set [largest v] to [0]

set [largest index v] to [0]

repeat ((length of [list v] ) - (passes))  

change [index v] by (1)

if <(largest) < (item (index) of [list v] )> 

set [largest v] to (item (index) of [list v] )

set [largest index v] to (index)

end

end

delete (largest index) of [list v]

insert (largest) at (1 v) of [list v] //add (largest) to [list v] if you want to sort small to large

change [passes v] by (1)

end

set [largest v] to (item (1 v) of [list v] ) // Do (item (last v) of [list v] if sorted small to large

That will sort from largest to smallest.
