Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4567 Loc: USA	Can someone explain this... Code: @kix $i=0 ? ("test"<>$i) ? ($i<>"test") The first test line returns 1 The second test line returns 0 Why? Shouldn't they return the same value?

Assuming correctly $i is an Integer so the second test correctly displays 0. The first test should not pass at all. I wish KiX would error out when comparing different types of variables. (PowerShell does)

This variable behavior is demonstrated in the "Expressions" section of the KiXtart Manual. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4567 Loc: USA	I guess I should have put the comparison script in too... Code: @kix $i=1 ? ("test"<>$i) ? ($i<>"test") Both test lines return 1 here...

"test" is different than "0" or "" or "1" $i<>"test" forces conversion from string to integer. there is0 no numeral part in "test" so the comparison in your examples is: $i<>0 _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Remember that all KiXtart types are VARIANT, as documented in the manual. This means that it is behaving correctly when promoting variables to different sub-types, and IIRC there are similar processes in other languages which support variants. Strongly typed variable support has its place, but it would probably hinder KiXtart more than provide anything useful. If we had direct access to things like DLL function calls it would be more important. This auto-conversion of variant types is probably the reason many of us still use short form Hungarian notation for variable names when it has largely fallen out of favour.
