... for lack of a better name.

Run this code:


The last value it outputs is very large. Now remove the comment block (or just about any other line) and run again. You'll notice how the output is now 0.

It's always unwise to assume that all variables are correctly initialised - even if the Help files says they are.

I agree it's a bug though.

Suit yourself:



I assume that in DBP all variables are supposed to be initialized at zero (this is BASIC remember), as I've never noticed an uninitialized variable having a non-zero value. Assigning zero to variables as a default is inefficient and unnecessary if DBP does it for you.

Now that really IS a bug - and incredibly unhelpful.

Confirm it, someone, please.

Double Integers are buggy all over the place and just need to fixed in general.



The fix...
