ASP comparison question...

[K]

hi guys,


I am doing this here:

dim i
dim j

i = 10
j = 10

If i = j then

But it is giving me a false result...

Any ways to do this comparison so it gives me the proprer result?

Thanx.

Re: ASP comparison question...

Are you sure this is all there is to it? Just that code alone should return
true, but if you're assinging i and j by some other means, it's likely that
one of them is a string and one is an integer, or something along those
lines. Doing this will take care of it though:

If CInt(i) = CInt(j) Then...


Depending on what kind of values you're using, you may want CLng to avoid an
overflow, i.e.
i = 32938493
j = 32938493

If CInt(i) = CInt(j) Then
'''Will cause an overflow

Well, I can't reproduce your error.

This:
dim i
dim j

i = 10
j = 10

If i = j then
Response.Write "Equal"
else
Response.Write "Not Equal"
end if
Response.End

gives this result:
Equal

Suggestion: force both variable to the same data subtype:
i=cint(10)
j=cint(10)

Re: ASP comparison question...

I am actually doi ng this:
i = request.form("v ar1")
j = request.form("v ar2")

And later, I do;

If i = j then
response.write
Else
response.write
End If

when I try =" or ,+, one return true, the other one false.
So I guess it is comparing the value in itself and not what it holds.

If I do Cint(j) I will get the actual value of the letter won't I?

Thx.
