create a point

[Samuele]

Hi, how can i create a point out of two variables?
for example:

Code: Select all

set _someVariable to point (_X, _Y)

(_X and _Y are two variables)

Because I did not understand what you meant by 'create',
when what you meant was 'define' a point.

I think the phrase "create a point out of two variables" actually makes sense, in the, er, sense that the OP already had possession of two distinct variables, but wanted to transform them into a single valid LC point.

Possibly.

My 'problem', if it is a problem, is that I have a degree in Philosophy (I mean Philosophical method, not what dead people wrote), and am an EFL teacher, and so look for precision in meaning and tend to be critical of non-native speakers usage of words.

It can be even simpler: the comma concatenation need not be explicit in variable assignments - this works:

Code: Select all

put _x,_y into someVariable
