How to make a turtle move more than 1 space?

x=io.read()
if x == "w" then
n=io.read()
turtle.forward(tonumber(n))
end

x = read()
if x == "w" then
 b = read()
 turtle.forward(tonumber(B)/>/>)
end

x = read() if x == "w" then  
 num = read()
 for i = 1,tonumber(num) do
  turtle.forward()
 end
end

x = read()
if x == "w" then
  n = read()
  for i=1, tonumber(n) do
    turtle.forward()
  end
end

n = tonumber(read()) or 1 -- default will be 1 move
for i = 1, n do turtle.forward() end
-- etc..

none of these won't work, if you want the code look HERE

i started making a prompt for how many blocks you go forward so i made this:-

x=io.read()
if x == "w" then
n=io.read()
turtle.forward(tonumber(n))
end

problem:- it only goes forward once instead of the told amount of times

help would be appreciated :)/>

x=io.read()
if x == "w" then
n=io.read()
for n = n, 0, -1 do
turtle.forward()
end
else
sleep(2)
end

end

This is probably the way i would do it. :)/>

local n = tonumber(read())
for i = 1, n do
  turtle.forward()
end

Why not just

local n = tonumber(read())
for i = 1, n do
  turtle.forward()
end

instead of your odd and un-required backwards for loop.

That's also a possibilty, i don't think it would change anything. :D/>

Well considering you're also missing the tonumber, mine would actually work ;)/> :P/>

I don't know why the tonumber is required, explanation please. :)/>

Getting input from the user is returned as a string of characters. For loops require numbers. So using the input of a user at any point in something that requires a number, means you have to call the tonumber function, which converts a string to a number.
