Comparison Fails?

[clevername27]

Does anyone know why this works?

local num = 32;
if (dataPart.length < num) // Do something.

…but not this:

if (dataPart.length < 32) // Do something.

Error message is: Unknown function 'length'.

Cheers.

What is dataPart?

Show me a screenshot of where you're using it in your code?

I think the clue might be in the word "function".

Thanks, man.

dataPart is a string, though I don't see why it would matter?

[d.healey]

Weird that it says function, I thought it was going to be a typo like length() but nope...

One thing I've found very useful in HISE lately is type safety, it helps me avoid a lot of simple bugs. Try adding it to your function, that way it will alert you if at any time you are passing the wrong data type to the function.

inline function RestoreStateOfEQ(eqModule, dataPart: string) {
// etc
}

@clevername27 There's a good doc for it, and I have a video on the way

@d-healey Of course you do.

@d-healey Type safety. I can't believe I spend half of my time in the docs and missed this particular chapter
Thank you!

@Matt_SF it's a fairly recent addition
