Comparison not working?

[cujo56 2]

Is it just my system (or me) but is there something wrong with the Ubot Comparison function?

 

set(#testvar, 1, "Global")

if($comparison(#testvar, "=", $true)) {
    then {
        alert("Has Value")
    }
    else {
        alert("Does Not Have Value")
    }
}
 

I would expect this simple statement to pop up the Alert with "Has Value" because the variable #testvar has a value of 1 and is true. Instead ubot is telling be this is false and giving me the else Alert.

 

What am I missing here?

for your example, try setting #testvar = $true...

 

or use the comparison to check if #testvar = 1

set(#testvar, 1, "Global")
if($comparison(#testvar, "=", 1)) {
    then {
        alert("Has Value")
    }
    else {
        alert("Does Not Have Value")
    }
}

True is not 1

true = true

1 = 1

 

 

set(#testvar, "true", "Global")

if($comparison(#testvar, "=", $true)) {

    then {

        alert("Has Value")

    }

    else {

        alert("Does Not Have Value")

    }

}

Thanks Steve and Dan,

 

Yes 1=1, and true = $true.  I am trying to see if the variable as a value, any value.  Is $true just for checkboxes? .  Asserting the negative, !=, with $nothing works. 

 

Related, is there a built in way to test a variable type (numeric integer/decimal, text, date, etc.) or do I have test my variable with a regular expression?

I always use != $nothing if I want to check if a variable has a value.

There are no variable types in ubot. So you can't distinguish between integer or text. 

Maybe with an eval / javascript command. But not with one of the built in functions. As far as I know.

$true != $false

$true != $false

yeah, I was thinking of how True works in PHP... (so long as the variable has a value and isn't false it is then considered True)
