Comparing an Integer to a Char?

[Itakai]

	loop
		set a[i]=0
		set i=i+1
		exitwhen i>='d'
	endloop

I'm working on reverse engineering a map file, and I'm very confused with how i will compare with the character. o-O

FYI I'm not a jass pro.

I don't think this will compile. '' expects a 4 digit rawcode.

You can use the library Ascii here on hive to do int2char and char2int conversions.

I now know it won't compile, but this is what came up after decompressing the file, I was just curious as to what it was doing.

Well, wait. Firstly, I've never seen char in JASS. Always figured it's just strings (somehow reverse C).

You could make some custom functions, one to convert integer to string (gets integer a, returns, say "b" if your integer equals 2), you could make on the other way around and then other function comparing your chars (strings). Say function WitchCharIsBigger(string a, string b) will give TRUE if a is after b in the alphabet and, in this function, you would need to convert those strings to integers and then compare integers.

What I wrote is kinda messed up, I know, but I can write functions for you, if you like.

Same as...

loop
set a[i]=0
set i=i+1
exitwhen i>=100
endloop

FYI it's not a character but a base 256 number.
Rawcode ID's are base 256 numbers in WC3.
When you lookup the character d in the ASCII table, you'll see the value 100d or 64h

256 ^ 0 * 100 = 100

Rawcode 'dddd' would be...

(((256 ^ 3) * 100) + ((256 ^ 2) * 100) + ((256 ^ 1) * 100) + ((256 ^ 0) * 100))

integer base 10 value of 'dddd' is 1677721600 + 6553600 + 25600 + 100 = 1684300900
