does anyone know how to use the convert function in the project?

Question

I am not sure how to use the convert function to convert a '.gif' to a '.art' file and can't find anything online or in the book. Can someone help me out?

Answer 1

I just basically change the filename. I used string slice to remove the .gif extension then add .art to the string.

Answer 2

You are supposed to write the convert function, not use it.

Googling is rarely useful for this class. In terms of the textbook, look for the sections about writing to a text file, because the .art file is really just a plain text file written in a specific format.

In terms of figuring out how to get the file name (which is just a string of text) to end in .art instead of .gif, Thu's answer is good.
