Hey scratchers,
I'm trying to make a program where a sprite asks the user a question, and they then answer and that answer is converted into numbers.
I've tried many times, but I can't really find the answer for a simple and fast word-to-number converter.
If you do happen to have the answer, please tell me and I will thank you. (I would like an answer as soon as possible)

Thanks everyone,

scratchvirtuoso

try that, it should work

Give an example of the user responses you might get. If the response is all numeric you can just treat it as a number in a calculation and Scratch will convert it so we need to know what you mean.

If a string contains only numbers it's a number as well, all the mathematical features are applicable for such strings.

Thanks everyone for the responses!
And whoever's string I use, I will definitely give credit.
Thanks!

Here are a few user example responses:

1. Why did the Chicken cross the road?

2. Hello there!

3. What's your name?

Surely those are questions rather than responses!

So what do you mean by converting the answer to numbers? Are you talking about encoding - as in the Encoding section here http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Global_High_Scores

Don't worry, I've already got everything settled. Thanks everyone, though.

Also, anyone out there, do you have the code to converting numbers to words easily?
I know, I know. I also need the vice-versa code, though, too.

What you need is called ENCODING and DECODING. Converting numbers to words is a different operation.

The decoding has to match the encoding method so it's hard to advise on decoding without knowing your encoding method.

Ok, thanks.

I am trying to make something in which the computer asks the user to choose a number and then the computer says the number in words.Is there any simple way to do this?

You should really start your own topic. The best answer for a small enough range (eg 1 to 20) would be a list containing the word version so you can just
