Difficulties using "i" as a variable

Renoise Tool Development
1

Hi, apparently I can only really use i for numbers, instead of i=a and then 0A00 gets output. I’m shocked I got this far, but just can’t handle 0a00-0f00 not working. What should I use to replace the “local i=F” which doesn’t work ;)

local i = 0xA

You’re looking for the hexadecimal prefix. “0x” indicating that you are describing a numeric value in a hexadecimal base. By doing “local i = a” you are telling i to reference the variable a so basically you have to define a for this to work.

local a = 10 or 0xA
local i = a

or just simply:
local i = 0xA

Thank you, fixed and works :)

and to translate numbers to hex you can use:
bit.tohex(decimal_number [,digits])
If you don’t supply the amount of digits that the function should return, it returns 8 by default.
