I am a complete beginner to dark basic. For hours I been trying to get this code right. I am trying to figure out how could i programming a simple integer answer to this problem 3 + 2 = 5 I could not figure this out without your help.
here's a sample of my code

a=3
b=2
set cursor 1,1
print a$
set cursor 20,1
print b$

a=3 will be 3, b=2 will be 2 and c the answer would be 5. What commands do i use if the answer is not 5 to count it wrong, but the input is 5 the answer is correct

This is the code you gave but it wouldn't work because you need to convert the integers to strings.


This code would give the answer:

"$" are only used for strings like:
$greeting = "howdy pardner!"
print $greeting

leave out "$"s for integers like 1 - 2 - 3 and so on. Take those dollar signs out and your code should start working fine! Also remember that the SET CURSOR command goes by pixels and not by character spaces, so maybe set your next cursor setting to something like 40,40 to observe a really noticeable difference. ENJOY

Oops, looks like IntermediateNewbie and I are talking at the same time. He's got it covered in addition to you wanting to add the integers.
