Description

Example:

/*
    Leap Year:  Brian Flanagan
    Parameter:  y   4-digit year
    Returns:    Leap Year (1=leap, 0=not) ' Yes, there's a reason for 0 or 1
*/
Function "LeapYear",y
    ly=0
    If y=4*Int(y/4) Then ly=1
    If y=100*Int(y/100) Then ly=0
    If y=400*Int(y/400) THen ly=1
End Function(ly)

/*
    Parameters: y   4-digit year
                m   month (1-12)
                d   day of month (1-31)
    Returns:    Day of year.
*/
Function "DayOfYear", y, m, d
    doy=Int(3055*(m+2)/100)-91
    If m>2 Then doy=doy-2+LeapYear(y)
    doy=doy+d
End Function(doy)

Print DayOfYear(2020,1,31),DayOfYear(2020,4,18)

Result in this instance is an Internal Error.

#1

Updated by Brian Flanagan over 3 years ago

  • Affected version changed from 0.9.8.1 to 0.9.9.3

Retested in 0.9.9.3. Problem still exists. Causes program freeze.

#2

Updated by Francois Lionet over 3 years ago

  • Status changed from New to Resolved
  • Assignee set to Francois Lionet
  • Target version set to 0.9.9.4-r2

Fixed!

#3

Updated by Brian Flanagan over 3 years ago

  • Status changed from Resolved to Feedback

Tested in Beta RC3. Still broken.
Non-dimensioned array in line 21. LeapYear function is not recognized inside DayOfYear.

#4

Updated by Francois Lionet over 3 years ago

  • Status changed from Feedback to Resolved
  • Target version changed from 0.9.9.4-r2 to Beta RC4

Fixed in RC4.

#5

After the 9 Oct updates, it no longer gets an internal error, however there is still a problem.
It may or may not be a related issue.

Using the same example code above, printing out the function results individually works, however, making multiple calls to the function in a single print statement gives unpredictable results. Example:

/*
    Leap Year:  Brian Flanagan
    Parameter:  y   4-digit year
    Returns:    Leap Year (1=leap, 0=not) ' Yes, there's a reason for 0 or 1
*/
Function "LeapYear",y
    ly=0
    If y=4*Int(y/4) Then ly=1
    If y=100*Int(y/100) Then ly=0
    If y=400*Int(y/400) THen ly=1
End Function(ly)

/*
    Parameters: y   4-digit year
                m   month (1-12)
                d   day of month (1-31)
    Returns:    Day of year.
*/
Function "DayOfYear", y, m, d
    doy=Int(3055*(m+2)/100)-91
    If m>2 Then doy=doy-2+LeapYear(y)
    doy=doy+d
End Function(doy)

// NOTE:  All of the function calls work *individually*
Print DayOfYear(2020,1,31) ' Works (31)
Print DayOfYear(2020,2,29) ' Works (60)
Print DayOfYear(2020,3,3) ' Works (63)
Print DayOfYear(2020,4,18) ' Works (109)
Print DayOfYear(2020,12,31) ' Works (366)
// ...but not when multiple items are printed on the same line.
Print DayOfYear(2020,1,31),DayOfYear(2020,1,31) ' Both work.
Print DayOfYear(2020,1,31),DayOfYear(2020,4,18) ' Works 2nd x only. (wrong result on 1st)
Print DayOfYear(2020,1,31),DayOfYear(2020,12,31) ' Works 2nd x only.  (wrong result on 1st)
Print DayOfYear(2020,1,31),DayOfYear(2020,12,31),DayOfYear(4,18) ' Works 2nd x only (wrong result on 1st, 3rd x = NaN)
Print DayOfYear(2020,1,31),DayOfYear(2020,2,29),DayOfYear(2020,4,18),DayOfYear(2020,12,31) ' Wrong result on 1st

#6

Updated by Brian Flanagan about 3 years ago

  • Affected version changed from 0.9.9.3 to 1.0.0 (B3)

This was partially fixed before, however, it is now completely broken again.

Newest test was in 1.0.0 B3 (2/12/2021).

Example:

Function "Number1$"
End Function("one")

Function "Number2$"
End Function(Number1$+" two")

Print "Number1: ";Number1$ // This works (by itself - you'll have to comment the last line)
Print "Number2: ";Number2$ // Should print "one two", but fails.
