# Claro RC2 Notes
|
|
|
|
> Historical note: this file is kept for release history. The current package is Claro v1.18.26; use `CURRENT_STATUS.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, and the current feature docs for up-to-date beginner guidance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
RC2 is the Beginner Polish Release.
|
|
|
|
## Main changes
|
|
|
|
### Natural ASK prompts
|
|
|
|
RC1 could read input, but examples often used a separate `SAY` line before `ASK`.
|
|
|
|
RC2 supports the natural beginner form:
|
|
|
|
```claro
|
|
ASK "What is your name?" AS name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Easier number input
|
|
|
|
User input is still stored as text, but RC2 treats number-looking text naturally in simple comparisons and basic math:
|
|
|
|
```claro
|
|
ASK "What is 2 + 2?" AS answer
|
|
|
|
IF answer = 4
|
|
SAY "Correct!"
|
|
ENDIF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```claro
|
|
SET a TO "4"
|
|
SET b TO "6"
|
|
SAY a + b
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
prints:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### More beginner examples
|
|
|
|
The examples folder now includes a clearer first path for learners:
|
|
|
|
- `hello.claro`
|
|
- `name_input.claro`
|
|
- `quiz.claro`
|
|
- `guessing_game.claro`
|
|
- `shopping_list.claro`
|
|
- `save_and_load_file.claro`
|
|
- `functions_example.claro`
|
|
|
|
## Still not final 1.0
|
|
|
|
RC2 is for testing and feedback. The next milestone should focus on documentation polish, fuller checker coverage, and final package cleanup.
