Lose the zero?

dragnet · **Lose the zero? -** 03-22-2010, 04:10 AM

Is there anyway to lose the zero at the end of a number when it is being displayed as a string. I assume it is due to the fact that Alice seems to use doubles for everything. I know you can not cast it to an integer, but has anyone figured out how to lose the zero without having to put something in front of it to hide it?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, no.

I tried that and it didn't work for me. It may work for him, though, I suppose.

Out of curiosity, are you using 2.0, rankhornjp?

It works with the random function, but not with the round function.

Oh well!

THe random function works, or you could define this function in python:

PHP Code:


			
def int(num):
world.out = int(num)

I'm relatively new to Alice, but know Java, PLSQL, PHP, C#, C etc pretty well as well as some Python. How do you define a Python function and call it within Alice?

Are the built in functions found in the Required/jython-2.1/Lib folder? If so how do I place a function into the /Lib folder and have it included into the Alice world?
