User Input

[Ninwa]

I'm sort of new to QBasic and these forums but was wondering if anyone of you could help me out...
I just started with qbasic but want to make a simple app, how would I make it so that qbasic would check if the inputed number is greater or less than the one it is looking for, EX:
INPUT "What is your name?"; username$
PRINT "Hello, "; username$; "."
INPUT "How old are you?"; age$
LET myage = 24
PRINT "Ahh, you are only "; agedifference$ " years older than me."


I barely know what I did in those 2 last lines but if you understand where I am getting at, I'd appreciate your help...

I have AIM if you prefer to explain it through there, screen name is Ninwa56.

Thanks in advance...

this is easy to do. First the input age should be a variable, not a string so try this:

INPUT "How old are you?" age
agedifference = age - myage
PRINT "Ahh...You are only",agedifference,"years older than
me."

I was going to IM this to you, but you weren't online.
