	Y'know, if you were to move the 2 to the front, and change it to a 2.0...

			Not really, simple is better. The advanced student already has enough information to figure it out for themselves. --[[User:Bale\|Bale]] 09:01, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

	You're right. My bad. Of course the division happens before the multiplication so I'm sure it was never supposed to work that way I suggested. Thanks for correcting me. :( --[[User:Bale\|Bale]] 05:52, 18 February 2011 (UTC)		You're right. My bad.

	I'm not using the very latest daily, I know, but on r9045 it DOESN'T change the result if you JUST change the 2 to 2.0. I get 0.0 as my result. Can you double-check that this has changed? --[[User:StDoodle\|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 03:34, 18 February 2011 (UTC)		I'm not using the very latest daily, I know, but on r9045 it DOESN'T change the result if you JUST change the 2 to 2.0.

Call by value or call by reference?

	I actually wrote a simple script to see how it works. Apparently all the primitive data types are called by value when passed to a function, whereas maps and records are called by reference (with smart garbage collection!). I presume this is the same for substitution(<code>=</code>), and that buffers are called by reference, though I haven't tried either. Could someone high up there please verify this information before I add it? --[[User:PhilmASTErpLus\|PhilmASTErpLus]] 07:14, 23 June 2010 (UTC)		I actually wrote a simple script to see how it works.

			Gee that was fun (not). But I think it's done; KoLmafia wiki, now 50% less untechnically accurate! --[[User:StDoodle\|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 05:38, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

New page

=Note=

This page copied from the deletion-in-progress Datatype Constants discussion page.

=Old Discussion=

Yes, this page should be renamed & such. It's another artifact of the way things were when I started working on the wiki, that unfortunately became a "hub" of sorts without being properly changed. However, since HUNDREDS of pages link here, we really need to be a bit more careful before moving this page. It should probably be done by a mod (to avoid automatic redirect creation) AFTER various prerequisites are taken care of. --[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 04:29, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

*Thanks for clarification, and sorry about not discussing it first. --[[User:PhilmASTErpLus|PhilmASTErpLus]]

Ugh. It's worse than I thought; when templates are nested, it takes a while for the "what links here" pages to get updated. I've started the process of transitioning from "Datatype Constantes" to "Data Types," but it may be a while before it's complete. Warning: please leave this project alone, I've got a handle on it & don't want confilcts. Thanks. --[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 04:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, uh, finger slipped. Oops. (Undone now, don't worry about it.) --[[User:Heeheehee|Heeheehee]] 12:09, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
