Re^7: Definition of numerically equal and rationale for 'you' == 'me'

Could you give me the output of the following, please?

perl -le'print "foo" == 0 ? "as per docs" : "deviates from docs"'

strings that aren't numbers count as 0, just as they do in awk

I didn't miss it, I misunderstood it. I thought you meant it was returning NaN for all strings, not just those starting with "nan". That's rather weird, but it is consistent with "123abc".	[reply]

but it is consistent with "123abc" Exactly !! ... that's quite correct ... but it wouldn't be correct if (the intention of) pemungkah's assertion (point "2.") had been correct. And that is what prompted my post in the first place. That point "2." of pemungkah's that I refer to begins with "Move right character by character". Cheers (yeah, the anger subsides), Rob	[reply]
