while(input(.name$) == "" && (isdigit(.name$))){    input .name$;    }

I want the player to type only letters/words, if it contains any number he will have to type it again without numbers
how can I do that?

you are my savior!
can you explain your code for me? so that i can learn

how does the first part undestand that returning 1 or 0 must repeat the input or not

is this boolean? callfunc returns 1 or 0, while true it pass, false it fall into condition, that's right?

The function i created will loop over each character of the string and check if that character is a letter or a number. If there is a number then always return 1 else 0.

You can return anything from a function you can leave it empty as well for any reason. I just use 0 and 1 because any !var means 0 and var means something else.
