My problem with the bot...

char a = 'A';
String blah = a;

Why does blah return 41 and not 'A'; and how can I fix this?

Dr Brain suggested doing String blah = String(a); and still didnt work.. any other would help

thanks

In radius is simple to make: distance = sqrt( (x1 - x2) ^ 2 + (y1 - y2) ^ 2)

As for the charater: its because type char is stored as a number, like everything else. So to get it to be a string, it needs to be an array, of length 2 (so you can set '\0' at the end).

Here is a clip of code incase anyone would ever need to use it:

int x = ((p->tile.x * 20) / 1024) + 65;
int y = ((p->tile.y * 20) / 1024) + 1;
char az[2]={x,'\0'};
String ret = az;
// haha just = az not [2]
//ret becomes the location of the player at a coord like: A10, B20 etc...

No it works just fine.. cause it takes the character stores into a 2 char array; the actual char # and \0

then append the actual # from int y and wallah you get ret = L#

tested it out worked just fine

Code: Show/Hide

String ret = az[2];

That should have problems. It's exceeding the char array. It won't give a compile error (like in Java) but shouldn't give you the right data...
