Check if Object is Int

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Check if Object is Int

Hi,
I searched the forums but couldn't find an answer to this:
How do I check if an Object is an Integer?
I've tried this:



But that won't do the trick :P
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks! :D

You would be better off creating a containing type called TInt (for example) with only one field, value:Int.

Type TInt
	Field value:Int
	Function Create:TInt(i:Int)
		Local temp_tint:TInt = New TInt
		temp_tint.value = i
		Return temp_tint
	End Function
End Type

Global int_object:TInt = TInt.Create(5)
If TInt(int_object) Then Print "Int!!!"
Print int_object.value


HandleToObject isn't for converting numbers to objects!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to clarify, an object will never be an integer. In BlitzMax, numerical datatypes are not objects.

Oh okey, Thanks for your response.
I'll just have it as a String and convert it when needed :P

I've got another one for ya!
How do I convert from Object to String Array?

StrArray:String[] = String[]( Obj:Object ) Doesn't seem to do it :P


Czar Flavius(Posted 2009) [#6]
How do you declare Obj? Your question is a bit like, how do I convert a brick into an apple array?

Gah, I found the problem. Nevermind :)
