instance variables need to get updated.

Hi,

 

I am Priya. I am entirely new to Pharo. I have to submit a project in one week to get placed (tough task for those who dont have any knowledge about smalltalk or the Pharo environment).

 

I am doing a very small project for getting two numbers from the user and performing basic

calculations on them. There is a drop-down menu with options - add, subract, multiply,

divide.

 

I have a problem with this step.

content := (builder newLabelGroup: {
                'First number' -> (
                       n1 := (builder
                         newTextEntryFor:self
                         getText: #num1
                         setText:  #num1:    
                         help: 'Enter the first number')
                         acceptOnCR: false;
                         minWidth: 200).  .......

Here, num1 is an instance variable with accessors (returns 0 as default). num1 is not

getting upated when I enter in the text field. I am not getting any error also. Transcript

window is showing the value of num1 as 0. Can anyone help me with this, please?

 

(Event handling and all is working properly sending a message to the add method. Only the instance variables are not getting updated.)
