Checking if an answer is a number
Is it possible to check if an answer of a question is equal to a number? I am making a drawing game where you get to choose the color of the pen. Please help! I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Re: Checking if an answer is a number
Use:
If answer*1=answer
When this is true, it's a number. When it's false, it used letters or something other than numbers.

Re: Checking if an answer is a number
Do this:
If { [ not (answer) = 0 ] and [ (answer/1) = 0 ] }
Then answer if a letter.
Else
Answer is a number.

Holy cow. And we both had similar answers that both work.
Haha, I win by a second or something though.

Aww, it didn't work. Also for yours lemon pretzel it just needs a letter in it.

Re: Checking if an answer is a number
I mean number. Also kileymeister's works but I am trying to make it change the pen color and that won't work.

Re: Checking if an answer is a number
lemonpreztel's looks dodgy, especially knowing that scratch looks at the last boolean in an AND block to see if it's true...

"Set pen color to answer" won't work? Are you sure it's the correct sprite that's changing its pen color?

Re: Checking if an answer is a number
I use:
[blocks]
<if> << <( (( answer <-> 0 )) <=> 0 )> <and><< <not> <( answer <=> 0 )> >> >>
<set{ letter or number }to( letter
<else>
<set{ letter or number }to( number
[/blocks]

Re: Checking if an answer is a number
I use this:
<< <( <{ x }> <>> 0 )> <or> << <( x <<> 0 )> <or> <( <{ x }> <=> 0 )> >> >>
