Qbasic - someone help me.

Hi guys.

Just to make this really simple.

In numeric values drawn from the LET function by using the PRINT function.

EX:

COLOR 15, 3
CLS
LET length1 = 25
PRINT "The length of the pool is"; length1; "."
END



It comes out as "The length of the pool is 25 ."

There is a space before and after 25, I'm not sure why there is one after, but the reason there is one before is to make room for the negative sign.

I obviously can rewrite it so that it looks like

PRINT "The length of the pool is"; length1; "feet."

To make it look appropriate, but what about when I want to end the sentence with a number, or worse a monetary value?

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Because it converts it to a string before inserting it in the terminal. You need to convert it yourself and then trim it.

? "The length of the pool is" + $ltrim($rtrim($STR(length1))) + "feet."

FYI, you don't need the LET command.

length1 = 25 is fine.
