Hi i am currently doing Tutorial 2 (https://fuzearena.com/help/view/Variables)
It says to do this code

 1. sweets = 3
  2. while sweets > 0 loop
  3.     clear( black )
  4.     print( "I have ",sweets," sweets in my bag." )
  5.     print( "If I eat one... then... " )
  6.     sweets -= 1
  7.     update()     
  8.     sleep( 1 )
  9. repeat
 10. print( "I have no sweets left... Oh no." )
 11. update()
 12. sleep( 2 )

But when I run it...
It says

---Error---

LINE:             2
FUNCTION:  N/A


-------------

Operation not recognized.
(Details: string, greater than, int)

I Went through it and it was the exact same code i saw in the tutorial.
What is wrong???
Confused

The code looks correct to me. Fuze seems to think that the sweets variable is a string? That seems strange. Are you using it somewhere else as well?

I would try putting the variable 'Int' before sweets. like this:

int sweets = 3

I copied your code in and it ran fine for me, maybe you have a typo?

Maybe you still have sweets = "Delicious" from the previous example in your code? Or it could be that you only replaced the value between the quotes sweets = "3" in stead?
If you put quotes around the value, it becomes a string (text), so you would need to remove the quotes around the number so sweets = "3" becomes sweets = 3.

Fuze does not allow to check if a string (text) is less than a number (Fuze wouldn't know what to do with "Delicious" > 0 or "3" > 0, but it does know what to do with 3 > 0).
Hope that helps :)

I think it might have been a bug. Because it was the exact same code as the tutorial. So then i copied the code from the tutorial and it was exactly the same but it worked. Not sure why???
