Everything in CF is a string and it's converted based on context: <cfset x = 42> <cfset y = x & x> <cfset z = x + x> y ends up with 4242 and z ends up with 84 (both as strings but both can be interpreted as numbers). A CF struct is a variant of a HashMap. A CF array is a variant of a Vector. > Or are there other factors? Any thoughts list buddies? I personally think you're on a hiding to nothing even trying to figure this out... Bear in mind that strructs are 'copied' by reference so they are often shared between multiple variables. That might affect your calculations. There's a ton of other factors too...
