Hi,
I think i found a problem regarding automatic conversion of data types
to string. Here is an example of a Lua script:
-- cut here --
numericValue=123.456
print("Type: ",type(numericValue))
print("Value: ",numericValue)
print("Some string "..numericValue)
boolValue=true
print("Type: ",type(boolValue))
print("Value: ",boolValue)
print("Some string "..boolValue)
-- end cut --
The output is:
-- cut here --
Type: number
Value: 123.456
Some string 123.456
Type: boolean
Value: true
lua: aa:9: attempt to concatenate global 'boolValue' (a boolean value)
stack traceback:
aa:9: in main chunk
[C]: ?
-- end cut --
I see that for number type there is an automatic conversion to string.
Why boolean makes an exception?
Thank you
