6 :: Equality question

• ventor3000 (orginal) [2012-05-09T13:09:41+02:00] view original

  The code below outputs "not equal" on my system, which seems unlogical to me. However since am am absolute beginner in nimrod programming i dont report this as a bug (yet) since it is very possible my code is nuked. Whats wrong here?

  Regards Robert

  var t=0x950412DE
  
  if t==0x950412DE:
      echo "equal"
  else:
      echo "not equal"
  Run

  I can't reproduce this on my 64bit machine; I assume it's a subtle bug for 32bit machines. Please submit a proper bug report (and mention your OS and CPU). Even if it would be correct according to the spec, it would be an oversight in the spec then. ;-)

  I can confirm this bug on my 32bit system.

  Here's my modification of the code: var t = 0x950412DE echo t

  if (t == 0x950412DE):

  echo t echo "equal"

  else:

  echo t echo "not equal"

  and here's the results: brenton@trixarian:~/nimrod$ ./test

  -1794895138

  -1794895138

  not equal
