Programmer error, Jacque: constants 123 and "123" are not the same and should not be used interchangeably.
Do you mean as compiled? Or as a matter of style?
I have gotten the impression that these are exactly equivalent. When used in arithmetic in a handler, the value is converted to internal number form.
Morning, Dar.
IMF(oole's)O, the value of a constant is CONSTANT, and 123 does not equate to "123". It certainly doesn't in any other language I've programmed in.
I always use 123 to specify the integer and "123" to specify the string; so I don't know if Revolution tries to coerce one to the other. I suppose one should try Jacque's example to see what the MetaCard engine does with it; however I believe coercing the type of a constant is not appropriate for a professional development tool.
