Incomplete one-liner execution

[Brian Alvarez]

This code:

Code: [Select]

floor(l1 + ((¤rand() / 32767) * (l2 - l1)))
Fails... while this:

Code: [Select]

    double rv = (¤rand() / 32767)
    print floor(l1 + (rv * (l2 - l1)))
Gives a good result.

Also this:

Code: [Select]

print (¤rand() / 32767) + " THE RESULT"
Omits the "THE RESULT" string. Seems like the one liner aborts after the function calls.

 Would you help me get the latest version of oxygen up and running? I dont know what i might be doing wrong....

[Brian Alvarez]

I just upgraded to the newest version of Oxygen. The issue i was having before upgrading, still occurs in the newest version:

Code: [Select]

declare function rand  lib "msvcrt.dll" alias "rand" () as int
declare function srand lib "msvcrt.dll" alias "srand" (int seed)

FUNCTION rnd(byval int l1, l2) AS DOUBLE
    if l1 > l2 then
        int l3 = l1
        l1 = l2
        l2 = l3
    end if
    double rv = (rand() / 32767)
    return floor(l1 + (rv * (l2 - l1)))
END FUNCTION

srand(21123) ' seed the randomizer.

int v
int i

for i = 1 to 10
    v = 2000 + rnd(1, 20) 'this fails. always returns a number smaller than 21     
    'v = rnd(1, 20) + 2000 'this works. this returns a number from 2001 to 2020.     
    print " r: " v chr(13, 10)
next i

 If i change the data type of the rnd() function from DOUBLE to LONG it works.
SINGLE also fails....

I believe this is a fundamental bug that will affect many other situations...

Simpler test:

Code: [Select]

FUNCTION rnd(byval int l1, l2) AS QUAD   
    return 1000
END FUNCTION

int v = 0

v = 2000 + rnd(1, 20)   'this fails. produces: 2446896
'v = rnd(1, 20) + 2000   'this works. produces 3000   

print v

Yes, I see the problem.

It concerns mixed float functions and integers. If you make the dest variable v a float. It will work as expected. I will investigate further.

The print problem is a separate issue:

Code: [Select]

'print (¤rand() / 32767) + " THE RESULT"
print( (¤rand() / 32767) + " THE RESULT" )

 Thanks charles! 

 Regarding the print issue, i can also see the logic. It is taking the bracketed part as the parameters of the print function.

Maybe a syntax error should be raised for the + after the brackets?

Added: Nah, nvm. Less error checking is faster. I will make sure to trap syntax errors here.

[Charles Pegge]

One solution is to insert a null string literal after print:

I'll make o2 do this automatically, whenever the first print term is other than a quote mark.

Clever...
