expression aren't
type
The aren't
operator evaluates to true
if the given value cannot be converted to the given type. If the given value can be converted to the given type, the aren't
operator evaluates to false
.
In HyperTalk, you can only use aren't
to test if some value is not an integer
, a number
, a date
, a point
, or a rectangle
. However, the test for a date
will reject just about any string to the point of being nearly useless, and the tests for point
and rectangle
are broken: if the value is not a comma-delimited list of integers, the expression will trigger an "Expected integer here" script error instead of evaluating to true
. XION will always consider something not a date
if it cannot actually be converted to one, and will never trigger a script error when evaluating the aren't
operator.
