Don't know how to title this...

This doesn't throw an error:

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit
Define myvar.s=myvar
Debug myvar

But, should it?

That seems logical to me.
If we analyze the line sequentially, the declaration (Define) is made before the assignation (=).
So, the variable already exists before being used as the value to be retrieved.

Ok, thanks. I wasn't sure.

Yes, it should throw an error.
Because on the 2nd line, the same variable is used as an integer and also as a string.That doesn't make sense.

What makes you think that it is an integer variable? That is not correct
Code shown slightly differently

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit
Define myvar.s
myvar=myvar
Debug myvar

PB checks syntax errors and not logic errors

Oops! Yes, you are right.

Thanks you all. I just was somehow confused (the code doesn't make sense anyway).
