Prints nothing.

So it will print the string at index 3.
What if there is no index 3 in the ACS file? Segfault? Printing the byte opcodes?

Thanks for the info.

Hah, I knew it wasn't a bug. And why does it print an irrelevant message?

by randi » Fri Nov 14, 2003 7:48 pm

No, it's not a bug, since ACC doesn't have an actual string type. Strings are just numbers that can be manipulated like any other number.

I somehow stumbled across the following. If try you concatenate with a "+" like so:

Code: Select all

print(s:"this is togethered by " + "a plus");
it compiles with no errors, but prints out a different message, most likely the first one immediately following it in the code. blabla, not sure if this is a bug, blabla.
