Strings 2000

[Erel]

What is the output of this code?

 

[thedesolatesoul]

Example 1
Example "2"
Example 3:
The "value" of FirstTime is True.
10 / 3 = 3.33
Sin (45) = 2.72
Today is 21/01/2015

Are you sure this works? It seems like a perl/tcl expression evaluation within strings.

 

[Erel]

You are almost correct. I see three mistakes (one is not really related).

Are you sure this works?

It will in the next version. This is a new string literal that makes it easier to create strings. The three main advantages: multiline, (formatted) string interpolation and no need to escape quotes.

 

[Erel]

The equivalent code:

There is a missing quote in line 37...

Interesting feature look forward

 

[thedesolatesoul]

Insane.
Now lets see who spots the three mistakes. (I didnt!)

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3:
The value of FirstTime is True.
10 / 3 = 3.33
Sin (45) = 2.72
Today is 21/01/2015

 

[Erel]

Correct answer:

Example 1
Example "2"
Example 3:
The "value" of FirstTime is true.
10 / 3 = 3.3333333333333335
Sin (45) = 0.71
Today is 01/22/2015

10 / 3 = 3.3333333333333335

Interesting.

@Erel : just wondering...

what is the point of these $ wrapped around the string in the first line?
why don't you need double quotes there like we need for normal strings?

What is the output of this code?

Before reading all the posts and especially before answering, I should find out why you do not get compile errors, since I do not know the use of that $ !!!
Is it B4A???

 

[LucaMs]

Read post #3, Luca !!!


So, we will have a new operator called: "SmartDollar".


If I wake up, can I (we) suggest other "features" of that operator?

 

[LucaMs]

 

[sorex]

Luca answered my questions indirectly

 

[Erel]

And now it is working:

 

[sorex]

any chance that this would be the default for all string operations?

PHP also has this variables in strings method ( echo "the time is $now in {$myarray[0]}"; )

easier (to read) than all the concating

 

[Erel]

any chance that this would be the default for all string operations?

This may break existing code. Note that the IDE will autocomplete the closing $" automatically so it is really simple to use the new string literal instead of the standard one.

 

[LucaMs]

The equivalent code:

There is a missing quote in line 37...

There is (are) a missing underscore, ampersand and CrLf in... many lines! (31-33)

 

[Erel]

Nothing is missing. The new string literal supports multiline strings.
