# Receive Number
|
||||
|
||||
Reads the next radio packet if any and returns the first number.
|
||||
Receives the next number sent by a micro:bit in the same ``radio`` group.
|
||||
|
||||
### Return value
|
||||
|
||||
* the first number [number](/reference/types/number) of the packet if any. `0` otherwise.
|
||||
* the first [number](/reference/types/number) that the micro:bit received. If it did not receive any numbers, this function will return `0`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
### Example: Simple number receiver
|
||||
|
||||
Read the number broadcasted by other micro:bits.
|
||||
This example receives the number broadcasted another micro:bit and shows it
|
||||
as a bar graph.

|
||||
### Example: Light level receiver
|
||||
|
||||
This example shows the light level from the [light level sender example](/reference/input/send-number)
|
||||
as a number.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
radio.setGroup(99)
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
let level = radio.receiveNumber()
|
||||
basic.showNumber(level)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Mailbot
|
||||
|
||||
This example receives the light level from the [light level sender example](/reference/input/send-number)
|
||||
and shows a text string like **ALERT** if the light level becomes much brighter.
|
||||
To find when the mail arrives, you can put the light level sender in your mailbox and it will
|
||||
tell you when someone opens the box. You can try this with a normal
|
||||
box too, like a present for a friend.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
radio.setGroup(99)
|
||||
let max = 0
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
let level = radio.receiveNumber()
|
||||
if (level > max) {
|
||||
max = level
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (max > 10) {
|
||||
basic.showString("ALERT")
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
