Question

Create a new script/macro with the following skeleton of a macro:

#@ Type (label="Label") name
#@ output String myString

myString = ;

Then, follow these steps:

1. Go to the parameters documentation.
2. Choose a Type and a Style if applicable.
3. In the macro, add the Type to the parameter declaration.
4. If you have a Style, add style="..." with the appropriate value in the parenthesis.
5. Give a name to your parameter and change the label.
6. Use the value of the parameter to make a string.
7. Run your macro!

Question

Find examples, of the Type you chose, in the documentation and explore the different parameters.

For instance, an Integer type has different styles and parameters (e.g. min, max etc.).
