Good morning,
i'm learning Dark Basic from the beginning. I have the first problem (question) now!

If i have a variable named var and is equal to 5 how can i print something like this?:

var=5
Print "The value is VAR, bye bye" (Where var is the value of the variable)

How can i print the value of a variable in a string? If i write as before i see not the value but VAR. Can you help me?

Sorry for the bad english!
I wait your asnwer.
Best Regards

Actually, Outscape, that line should be:

text x co-ordinate, y co-ordinate, "The value is "+str$(VAR)+", bye bye!"

(The $ is very important, as it is what converts the 'VAR' variable to a String.) o.o

Using the PRINT command:

PRINT "The value is ",var,", bye bye"
or
PRINT "The value is ";var;", bye bye"

Using the TEXT command:

Text Screen X Position, Screen Y Position, "The value is "+str$(var)+", bye bye"

***************************************************************

The STR$(number) command converts a number into text (a.k.a. a string) so you can print it to the screen. This new text number is returned, so if you wanted to you could put it into another variable (it would need to be a string variable though). The original number variable is not affected. This command is not necessary when using the PRINT command.
