1881 :: concatenation bug?

• lcm337 (orginal) [2015-12-17T11:20:54+01:00] view original

  Hi, should this crash?

  
  var a,b: string
  echo a & b
  Run

  or are strings like sequences and allowed to be uninitialized?

  Thanks

  Well as the tutorial says, nil is the default value for strings but most things in the stdlib don't like nil, so concatenation doesn't deal with nil. So ... not a bug.

  Ahh, I have the manual in front of me and couldn't see any mention of it. Thanks!
