Hello Charles,
In PB there is a Variant Data type which is very flexible, does O2 has an equivalent data type
i found nothing related to this data type in the Oxygen_help.htm
see http://manmrk.net/tutorials/basic/PowerBASIC/pbcc/variant_data_types.htm (http://manmrk.net/tutorials/basic/PowerBASIC/pbcc/variant_data_types.htm)
Hi Chris,
Variants are part of Microsofts OLE COM/automation system. They ar really intended for scripting languages, which cannot handle native variable types directly. O2 does not have variants as a core type, but is quite good at automatically converting variables where necessary, including string<->number conversions.
That's good to know, thanxx
that's why O2 is so flexible, the auto conversions are genius features
