Conversion to decimal string from I32 - coercion dot in case of array

[Blokk]

Probably the answer is trivial, but I do not get this 🙂 If we have the same data types, why a coercion dot appears for arrays?

Interesting, i haven't thought about it before, but it does! Not only on I32, but on all arrays! My first thought was that it changed to some other data type, but no number format works, and an array of variants breaks. Maybe it coerces to an Array pointer or something?

The conversion works. But when I see a coercion dot plus I do not know why, it makes me a tiny bit worried 🙂 So very interested what the red dot means in such cases...

I remember this being brought up sometime in the past.  Perhaps it was during a beta.  Don't remember if a CAR came out of it.

Hi!

the behaviour is filed as CAR 152788 'Coercion Dot appears when wiring Integer Array to Number To Decimal String.vi' and is not yet fixed.

Best regards,

Hi Christoph,

so that problem most have a very very low priority as the coercion dot was already shown in LV2009(SP1)…

(That's the oldest LV version I have in use right now.)

Hi Gerd,

I can neither confirm or deny that

Understandably that is not most pressing issue.

Best regards,

Do not worry! I have found a temporary workaround:
