Re: [Unicon-group] Icon programming for humanists
Hi Folks, The recent discussion of un-initialized list element referencing reminded me of a typo in the draft of the 2nd edition of Alan Corre's Icon Programming for Humanists. On page 43, in example code of procedure printout() # Arrange info in columns and figure letter total write(right(n,2),right(1[n],12)) the example intends to reference an element of a list identified by letter 'l' , as in l[n] . But, square brackets also reference positions within strings. The examples below of implicit type conversion may be diverting; if not, please forgive this enthusiastic spam for Icon, Unicon, and Icon Programming for the Humanities. procedure main() # '1' below represents the digit one, not the letter 'l'. if 1[1] = 1 then# numerical comparison write(1[1] = 1) if 1[1] == 1 then # lexical comparison write(1[1] == 1) if 1[1] === 1 then# value and type comparison write(1[1] === \1\) end produces: 1[1] = 1 1[1] == 1 1[1] === 1 Regards, Alan B Saichek Dear friends, A draft of the 2nd edition of Alan Corre's Icon Programming for Humanists is available for public comment; a link is on the Jeffery Systems page, under Books at unicon.org.
