letshwao

Converts a character-code number into a single character.

Every character in a computer has a number of its own. letshwao(65) is "A", letshwao(66) is "B", and letshwao(97) is "a".

Given text holding a number — say letshwao("65") — it is read as a number first, and you get "A" again.

Given a list, it returns a list of characters. The function that goes the other way is paloYaLetshwao.

Syntax

letshwao(boleng)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
boleng	palo	A character-code number. Text holding a number, and a list, are both accepted.

Examples

Five letters from their codes

tiro setaLoeto() {
  thalaKanefase(400, 400);
  bokamorago(220);
  tlogelaMothalo();

  diri x = 60;
  gopheta (diri khoutu = 65; khoutu < 70; khoutu = khoutu + 1) {
    kwala(letshwao(khoutu));

    tlatsaMmala(khoutu * 3, 120, 200);
    kgolokwe(x, 200, 60);
    x = x + 70;
  }
}

A list of codes becomes a list of characters

tiro setaLoeto() {
  thalaKanefase(400, 400);
  bokamorago(220);
  tlogelaMothalo();

  diri dikhoutu = [66, 79, 80, 65];
  kwala(letshwao(dikhoutu));

  tlatsaMmala(200, 100, 40);
  khutloTharo(200, 80, 60, 320, 340, 320);
}
