• CInt()

Don´t know how to submit a bug, so I posted here.
It would be nice to understand why does this happen (just for curiosity).

Output of the CInt() function for some arbitrary strings that commence with zero:

CInt("01") = 1
CInt("02") = 2
CInt("03") = 3
CInt("04") = 4
CInt("05") = 5
CInt("06") = 6
CInt("07") = 7
CInt("08") = 0
CInt("09") = 0
CInt("010") = 8
CInt("011") = 9
(...)
CInt("018") = 1
CInt("019") = 1
CInt("020") = 16
(...)
CInt("028") = 2

The result is the same no matter how many zeroes are ahead.
Essentially, for 0-7 ones the result is "the number - (tens * 2) " and for 8-9 ones the result is the number of tens.

If you start a string with 0x it is base-16
If you start a string with 0 it is base-8

What you are seeing is, Octal.

In one you have 028, but 8 cant be there, so it goes 02 and gives you 2

Haha, sorry for my ignorance.

I´ll keep it in mind in case I lose two fingers.

If you have strings coming up, (this isnt the best way to do it, just the easiest off memory) and you need to remove leading 0s

Code: Select all

while ( text[0] == "0" )
   text[0] :="";
   Sleepms(2);
endwhile

I wasn't aware of this either Austin. Is this the "standard" behaviour of CInt() in other languages? Either way it might be a good idea to update Racalac's eScript guide in the Documents section to indicate this?

Thanks.

Its been the case since... forever. Yes, Rac's guide does need some updating so people know about the awesomeness that is _var_iter in a foreach loop.
