alice-teacher converting to a string

[A. Jeff Goldstein]

Make the first string:  "Your number  differs by amount "  ß be sure to leave an extra space, here

Use the world string function a + b.

Drag it to first string.  For the part b just leave it as default.

Next, drag the "what as string" function to your default string (the b part rectangle).  Notice it turns yellow as you drag it, and green when it's in the right place.  Drop it there and chose the expression for the difference.

 

Much more complicated than in Java:   System.out.println("Your number differs by amount " + difference);

 

J

Subject: alice-teacher converting to a string

 

I want to convert an int to a string.  I am playing a guess my number and I want the red cow to tell the blue cow that his/her number is <  or > by a certain amount.  I get the subtraction to work but I need to convert the variable to a string.  I know to use the what as string but it won't go in the right place.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks
