Datatype number with value one is the same as boolean true??

Hi all,   I Have a question regarding the datatypes. In my script I have a function that returns boolean true or a number. Like this:   //Returns a true or a number var Return = function1()   ...

Well there you go.

 

I stand (well, sit) corrected.

 

Just tried it and you're right. 1 is treated as true. And works fine for me.

 

I shall depart the thread now .... :manhappy:

 

(I'm still not a fan of mixing types ..... :mantongue: )

    My excuse here is my VBScript background.

     

    1 is not treated this way in VB (with it's loose typing). Any number is false. (Well, it's not. It's a number. But it's not true ...)

     

    But in C# script, you are quite right. It is treated as a true. (My current project is my first one using C# script ...)
