I'm not sure I exactly understand your problem...it sounds like you are trying to use a list to collect digits of a number and then using the full contents of the list to make a number in a variable (or another list element).  And you are running into the problem that you end up with spaces between the list elements.  I have not figured out a way to remove those spaces; sorry.

To input a multi-digit number, I initialize a variable to 0 and then, for each digit key, have it set the variable to  the current value of the variable multiplied by 10 plus the value of the digit:

    Set Variable = (10 * Variable) + Digit key pressed

So if the key "2" was pressed you would get

    Variable = (10 * 0) + 2 = 2

And then the key "3" was pressed you would get

    Variable = (10 * 2) + 3 = 23

So the multi-digit number is taking form in Variable

ok thanks     do you know of any other free software that is targeted at mathematical equations. My project would be to find the mean, median, and mode of a list of data. I thought that it was time consuming doing it on your own but it would be simple in a program. If you know of any programming languages let me know.

Python is free and has lists.  It is a text based language but fairly forgiving to use.
