I am a new to dark basic, I am just playing around with loops and if statements for now. I am trying to get a positive input from the user and then check to make sure it is positive and move on to more code, however it just keeps looping no matter what the input. What am I doing wrong here?

Ok.. I'll give you warning due this:

But dude.. please.. don't use the code field.. it hardly works..
Use the "code" button (above the emotIcons) instead..
Click one time:
<code>
Type your code..
And click another time:
</code>

It is gonna bring


OnTopic: I can't see your code, but I think you wanna repeat
something until the user types a positive value, right?




well.. there are many other ways to get this result..
check out the DBPro's help to learn many other loop
structures.. or just use the search button ate the
bottom left of the board..

btw.. STATE the language you're using: DBP/DBC..

ok?

and welcome to the forums..

The worst foe lies within the self..

yeah, don't use the code box below the message box, use the code button, then type your code into the message box

the code box below works on some boards, but not this one... that's just the way it is

...maybe one day I'll finish a project

As Louiz of Rohr says, there are many ways to do this.

I believe the code box does work, but I think it's just disabled for newbies. When you've been a member for a while it starts working.

To test this theory (as I've never used it before myself) I've used it to paste some code. So, we'll soon see if I'm right, as I'm hardly what you'd call a newbie!

[Edit] Yep - it works fine for me. Click on the small Source button bottom right of this post to see the code.

That's one of the things i'd like to see here. The ability to look at all of a persons posts. The search at the bottom is kinda primitive.
