![]() ![]() As languages like PERL prove, such information is not intrinsically important to the programmer, that is if you have functions that accept ANYTHING and do the conversions within themselves. Many programs - think PERL - are designed to do away with as much pre-knowledge as possible and just allow you to write code without remember supplementary details like “what type is this variable”?Īll “types” are is a little piece of information that travels with a variable that dictates how it should be used. ![]() VB and REAL/Xojo are RAD tools so why not make it easier?īut, as you program longer, you start understanding what “types” are and how they help you in programming. I know where you are coming from, I used VB for a long time and enjoying the “type coercion” where you could pass a number and it would be converted into a string automatically. This seems a larger irritant - just my opinion. ![]()
