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.

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).
