Hi all,
I created this function which return if the number is true or false

function theInteger pNumber
   return pNumber is an integer
end theInteger

What I do not understand why it is not a false return false

put theInteger(8.4/1.2) --> return false!

I created a stack to explain better the problem (the script is in the button)
Thanks in advance

HI Daross,

you are supplying an expression and not a "simple" number in the parameter!

But you can force LC to evaluate that one before checking for integer, just use VALUE:

function theInteger pNumber
   return VALUE(pNumber) is an integer
end theInteger

Tested and works!

Best
