9779 :: Type mistmatch for `int` and `sink T`

• Nlits (orginal) [2022-12-29T23:44:00+01:00] view original

  I have this code:

  proc encode*(s: openArray[int], lo: var int): seq[byte] =
      
      var mlength = findMaxLen(s, true)
      mlength = mlength.binLen + 1
      var cache = ""
      for i in s:
          cache &= toBin(i, mlength)
      
      
      lo = mlength
      result.add binToInt(cache)
  
  proc encode*(s: openArray[int]): seq[byte] =
      var tmp: int
      result = s.encode(tmp)
      result.insert(tmp, 0)
  
  Run

  I get type mismatch for this line: result.insert(tmp, 0). It wants sink T but got int, any ideas on how to fix this?

  You are trying to insert an int into a seq of byte

  Ah! I failed to catch that. It should be: result.insert(tmp.byte, 0). Thanks for your help
