 Topic: No number Names?Posted: 23 Apr 2012 at 7:38pm |

Hey i am wondering why i can't call Objects and Variables numbers?
Example: I can call a Sprite 001a but not simply 001. And Variables can't be called numbers at all... Why is that? Was thinking of working on a -Save -Load mechanism similar to WC3 Orpg Maps. Link |

because numbers are viewed differently by the computer when accessing things. Its always been bad programming to use numbers at the beginning of names if at all.

Am I referring to the variable or the number? Who knows... |

Sqiddster's correct :) It's to remove ambiguity. Naming something as a number is also probably bad practise as it's not very descriptive

This is the same as any scripting or programming language you'll ever use. Names cannot be numbers - if you name an object "1", how does the parser understand 1 + 1? :P
