Cannot Subtract or Divide!
I am having trouble with my script for my game Soccer Rush. For subtraction, I would like the first number to be bigger than the second number so there are no decimals or negatives when you subtract. I also want to make to the equation for a division problem able for you to divide without decimals.

How about something like this?
set [num2 v] to (pick random (1) to (100))
set [num1 v] to (pick random (num2) to (100))
say (join (num1) (join [ minus ] (join (num2) (join [ equals ] ((num1) - (num2)))))) for (2) secs
set [num2 v] to (pick random (1) to (10))
set [num1 v] to ((num2) * (pick random (1) to (10)))
say (join (num1) (join [ divide ] (join (num2) (join [ equals ] ((num1) / (num2)))))) for (2) secs

For minus the best would be:
Please say if you want me to make one for division
when green flag clicked
set [Num1 v] to (pick random (1) to (100))
set [Num2 v] to (pick random (1) to (100))
if <(Num1) > (Num2)> then
set [Answer v] to ((Num1) - (Num2))
else
set [Answer v] to ((Num2) - (Num1))
end
Please say if you want me to make one for division

([abs v] of ((Num 1) - (Num 2)))
(round ((Num 1) / (Num 2)))

Please do a division one. Thankyou!

Oh I see. You're doing a math learning game.
set [Result v] to (pick random (1) to (10))
set [Numerator v] to (pick random (1) to (10))
set [Denominator v] to ((Numerator) * (Result))

I don't think any of your ideas work. Please check out my project and see if I did anything wrong.

Yes. The game is shared. Its called Soccer Rush.I don't think any of your ideas work. Please check out my project and see if I did anything wrong.So which project is it? Is it even shared?

Well at the moment you deliberately set number2 to be at least as big as number1. So you're going to do something like ask what is 25 - 35 but then you ask what is 35 - 25. You KNOW the second number can't be smaller than the first so you only need to ask what is number2 - number1.
Your block
As far as I can see you haven't done the division yet.
Your block
if <(Time) = <[60] > []>> thenis unlikely to be what you want. 60 is always greater than 0 so the right hand part evaluates as true which will be treated as 1 when you check against Time. In any case, as far as I can see you only set Time to the timer's value before you ask the question so it's not giving you any test of how long they took to answer unless you're resetting Time somewhere else.
end
As far as I can see you haven't done the division yet.

I tried with mine but still couldn't get it.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/212292712/ - I've only remixed the subtraction. Since your on-screen variables expected number1 to be the larger I switched the logic. I've removed the chance to try again with the same question which seems unnecessary and is going to give problems with the time limit.

OK, I'll probably delete it tomorrow so get what you want from it. Change your addition to match.
