The QUOTE character ' ' [Resolved]

[Kwai chang caine]

Hello at all

Someone can explain to me what is the function of QUOTES ''

When i write :

Code: Select all

Debug '0'

The return is 48
Here i say to me ...it's easy...it's the ASCII value of zero

I'm again more sure when i write :

Code: Select all

Debug '1'

The return is 49

So when i write :

Code: Select all

Debug '01'

I obtain 12337
What is this number of another planet ???

Thanks and good day

It is the asci value of 0 and 1 put into a word-sized variable (two characters = two bytes = word).

Code: Select all

Debug '01'

word.w

*a.Ascii = @word
*a\a = '1' ; BEcause Intel is little-endian, the last value goes first, so '01' is stored as first '1'
*a + 1
*a\a = '0' ; and then '0'

Debug word ; it's the same!

This time it's when even a little bit more difficult to understand
But i reflect all the day, and perhaps a light appear in my little head

In fact there are a long time ago, you give to me the super tips to translate text to number the most simple possible
For do this, you say to me : "Kcc use quote"

Code: Select all

a.q = 'Kcc'
Debug a

It's just a pity i'm forced to only 8 characters between the 'Quote'

And i have follow your precious explanation.
I have create numerous constant with big numbers equal to text

And today..impossible to remember how translate the number to text

Since three hour i search a way for decoding my personal "coding"
I'm really a mule

So now, thanks again at you, i have retrieve my eggs

Code: Select all

Procedure.s FunctionOfTheDead(V.q)
 ProcedureReturn ReverseString(PeekS(@V, 8))
EndProcedure
 
a.q = 'KccMule'
Debug a
Debug FunctionOfTheDead(a)
