Hello
Can someone tell me why I get different results for n = 0
with these two variants?
find-nth0: func [
"Returns the series after the Nth occurrence of value or none."
series [series!]
value
N [integer!]
/local pos
] [
parse series [n [thru value] pos: to end]
pos
]
find-nth1: func [
"Returns the series after the Nth occurrence of value or none."
series [series!]
value
N [integer!]
/local pos
] [
parse series [n thru value pos: to end]
pos
]
>> find-nth1 "0**3*4" "*" 0
== none
>> find-nth0 "0**3*4" "*" 0
== "0**3*4"
>>
Or with other questions;
why is zero times [..] true
and zero times .. false?
Other n's give the same result
>> find-nth1 "0**3*4" "*" 3
== "4"
>> find-nth0 "0**3*4" "*" 3
== "4"
