Is that a number?

[danielrr]

On LiveCode Community 6.5 on a Mac, you type

Code: Select all

if ". " is a number then beep

or even

Code: Select all

if ".   " is a number then beep

And your computer beeps. Why is it?

Weird.

But at least... there is some coherence.

Code: Select all

put ". " into tTest
add 2 to tTest
answer tTest

Did I hear "weird"?

Space alone is not a number, nor is just a period. But any combination is. Where is Jacque?

I should have said, "where is Hermann?"

This is a bug. It may not matter much, but is a bug.

Hermann. I am having trouble seeing how ". " is a synonym for ".0". I was fascinated by that statement. Can you explain?
