String is Int or Float [solved]

[JohnOne]

I see.

Is it because Autoit3 is loosely typed, that the statement is valid?

12 months ago I wouldnt of even asked such a question, but after poking around other languages it looks out of place saying "Checks if a string is an integer"

Probably splitting hairs, suggesting a change to the helpfile with that I suppose.

EDIT:

The same with IsInt()

I see that now.

Good.

For exercise explain differences between StringIsDigit and StringIsAlNum to some accidental reader like passionate nitpicker would. Naked.

Mmm, seems solved to dead.

Always good to setup a little test case, to see(compare) the results on different data and different functions.

#include "array.au3"
test()
Exit

Func test()
    Local Enum $_data_
    Local $aData[8][1 + 4] = [['123'],['1.23'],['1.2.3'],['0'],[''],['abc'],['123abc'],['abc123']]

    For $iData = 0 To UBound($aData, 1) - 1
        For $iCase = 1 To UBound($aData, 2) - 1
            $aData[$iData][$iCase] = Execute('case' & String($iCase) & '("' & $aData[$iData][$_data_] & '")')
        Next
    Next
    _ArrayDisplay($aData)

EndFunc
Func case1($sNum) ;; one funct at a time.(x3)
    Return StringIsInt($sNum)
EndFunc
Func case2($sNum)
    Return StringIsFloat($sNum)
EndFunc
Func case3($sNum)
    Return StringRegExp($sNum, "^\d*\.?\d+$")
EndFunc
Func case4($sNum) ;; bool version.
    Return StringIsInt($sNum) Or StringIsFloat($sNum)
EndFunc

E:+#include
