Abs error?


With 3 arrays like following...


The following code gives an "Operator can not be applied to stings" error on the
line. No idea why

What an odd error!
Have you tried forcing them to be numbers with the .. um.. I want to say % sign?
Dim maskR%(...)
I think.

*tries*

.. Oddly, I'm not getting the error.

Turns out I dont *need* to check the g and b values for what I want, but.... it is very odd. Maybe its a memory problem?

Are you still using that "Not Mark's coding" version of Blitz?

Hmm.. that's mine. *shrugs*
Maybe something else, somewhere in the code.
Who knows...

It's the b variable.
b$=f <---

Then later you use b for blue.

Its a bit odd, yes, but only if you come to blitz basic from other languages, which do make such distinctions.

On the other hand, if you see it on the brighter side:

You are defining the variable either as string, int or float - ONCE, and then later you do not need to use the that extra char. (yes the readability/debugabilitiy is maybe not so well, but ...)



I think that is better than to have the variables defined and to be forced to use the same definiton in the code later ...
