two brackets are not treated as an error when RIGHT (SOLVED)

[juppel]

Hi I found a bug,

Bacon Version 4.9

'all Right

need$="test"
PRINT RIGHT$(LEFT$(need$,2), LEN(need$)-1)

output: =>te

need$="test"
PRINT RIGHT$(LEFT$(need$,2)), LEN(need$)-1)
                          Ŵrong

But the compiler reports no errors

Output: => e3



need$="test"
PRINT RIGHT$(LEFT$(need$,2), LEN(need$)-1))
                                         Ŵrong
But the compiler reports no errors

output: => te

Hi juppel,

Thanks for your report! It seems are two issues here, however, there's a misunderstanding as well.

This PRINT statement is correct:

PRINT RIGHT$(LEFT$(need$, 2))


The LEFT$ and RIGHT$ functions do not require a second argument. If the second argument is omitted then it defaults to '1'.

So in fact, the parenthesis error in the first case is the one at the end:

need$="test"
PRINT RIGHT$(LEFT$(need$,2)), LEN(need$)-1)
                                         Ŵrong


Then both your issue#1 and issue#2 come down to the situation that PRINT does not look at redundant characters at the end of an expression, which is a bit confusing.

It is fixed in the latest beta.

Best regards
Peter
