# Receive Number
|
||||
|
||||
Reads the next radio packet if any and returns the first number.
|
||||
|
||||
## Important Security Consideration
|
||||
|
||||
The functions in the ``radio`` namespace allow the BBC micro:bit to communicate with other micro:bits.
|
||||
|
||||
This API does not contain any form of encryption, authentication or authorization. It's purpose is solely for use as a teaching aid to demonstrate how simple communications operates, and to provide a sandpit through which learning can take place.
|
||||
|
||||
For serious applications, BLE should be considered a substantially more secure alternative.
|
||||
|
||||
```sig
|
||||
radio.receiveNumber()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Return value
|
||||
|
||||
* the first number [number](/microbit/reference/types/number) of the packet if any. `0` otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Read the number broadcasted by other micro:bits.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
radio.onDataReceived(() => {
|
||||
led.plotBarGraph(radio.receiveNumber(), 1023);
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
