Re: Re: Strange saving behaviour

Hi!

I should keep my mouth shut, but wouldn't that return 'true'
for every number above 1 ?..

I believe 'int' returns the integer part...

is_int(6.66) would return 6... and not check if it's an int

Sorry if I'm totally on the wrong track here...

GreetZ!,

print "profeth still\n" if /bird|devil/;

I think you may have misread it: that's an equality test in the last line, not an assignment =) It returns the value of the last statement in the sub, i.e, the value of `$num == int($num);` [download] Which is true (== 1) if `$num` and the integer part of `$num` are equal to each other, and false (==0)otherwise.

Umm... no. It works as advertised. `is_int(6.66)` returns the result of `6.66 == int(6.66)` which is the same as `6.66 == 6` which is false. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Perl makes the fun jobs fun and the boring jobs bearable" - me	[reply]
