----------------------------------
Summary: String with length 1, if assigned to int variable,
assigns the ascii value. String with more than 1 length throws
GroovyCastException
Key: GROOVY-8957
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8957
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: groovy-jdk
Reporter: Adithyan K
String with length 1, if assigned to int variable, assigns the ascii value.
String with more than 1 length throws GroovyCastException
{code}
/*line 1 : case-1 */ char c1 = '1'
/*line 2 : case-1 */ int n1 = c1
/*line 3 : case-1 */ println "n1 = $n1" //prints ascii value of 1 :'n1 = 49'
/*line 4 : case-2 */ String s2 = '1'
/*line 5 : case-2 */ int n21 = s2
/*line 6 : case-2 */ int n22 = s2 as int
/*line 7 : case-2 */ println "n21 = $n21" //prints 'n21 = 49'
/*line 8 : case-2 */ println "n22 = $n22" //prints 'n22 = 1'
/*line 9 : case-3 */ String s3 = '10'
/*line 10 : case-3 */ int n3 = s3 //Throwing Cast Exception
/*line 11 : case-3 */ println n3
{code}
Case-1
Line 3 prints `49`. It is ok as `char` is assgined to integer in line 2
Case-2
Line 7 prints `n21` eventhough String is assgined in line 5... Is it right?
Line 6 : `n22` is assigned 1 as I have written `s2 as int`. This is ok
Case-3
Line 10 : Throwing GroovyCastException. This is ok.
The difference between Line-5 and Line-10 is the difference in String length.
Both are Strings. The former is of length 1 and the latter is of length 2.
So, String with length 1, if assigned to int variable, assigns the ascii value.
String with more than 1 length throws GroovyCastException This looks some what
different...
Is it the acceptable behavior
