I ran into almost the exact same problem.<br>
The compare function Will accept and adjust for an integer variable but not an integer function. What we did in my classes is to create a temporary integer variable (FUBAR - Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition, has an old an honored tradition), Drag it down into the while true..., then drag the integer function on top of the temporary integer variable.<br>

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am trying to do the Chase scene<br>
in Chapter 7 of the Programming with Alice book using While in the chase<br>
method. I am unable to drag the "goldfish distance in front of shark"<br>
function into the "true" condition of the while. I keep getting a red<br>
outline around the command.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>

Alice 2.x??? That condition is looking for a Boolean (true / false) value.? What you are trying to drag in returns a number (distance).? The solution would be to first drag in a condition (World, Functions, Math, A > B).? Place numbers initially into A and B (1, 2), then replace one? with the function you want use ("goldfish distance in front of shark") and then how far in front....<br>
