[General] Need help for Jass. Stupid question...

[Geshishouhu]

Alright, I admit that I am a noob and my question is: what does the following mean?

GetRandomInt (1,'d')<=10

So, what does "d" mean? Why is there a 'd" in it? Shouldn't it be an integer ( a number)? "d" is a letter... >_<
Thanks a lot!

Anything in quotes ("") is a string and can't be passed as an argument in the GetRandomInt func. I am not sure what you are trying to ask.

GetRandomInt returns a random integer between the two numbers. Oh and the correct syntax is GetRandomInt (1, 10) == 10 btw.

Thnx, Doomlord. I revised my question.
I made a mistake, actually it looks like the following:

GetRandomInt(1,'d')<=10

Does this make any sense to you?

Yeh. The 'd' you are talking about is ASCII. To put it simple, an integer turned into a kind of string but still treated as an integer. You will encounter them in raw codes for units and abilities. Anyway, it is just a number.

Oh, I got it. Thank you so much, Doomlord!

There you'll see the numeric value of each character.

d = 100
The id of a unit with 'dddd' would be 100100100100

Thank you Spartipilo. The chart is really helpful.
