Hello everybody, I'm back 😄
I have a strange line in the debugger console that i don't understand, and i found only two posts when i typed it in the search box, but they don't have the answer i am looking for.
My code is very simple :

Function Photo_URL(Number_Array as object) as object
print Number_Array
photo_url = []
for each n in Number_Array
	url = "http://www.mywebsite.com/photo" + n + ".jpg"
   print url
	photo_url.Push(url)
   print photo_url
end for
print photo_url
return photo_url
end Function

Number_Array is an array that i create in my Main(), it contains all the numbers between 0 and 9 included (the print Number_Array gives me the list, so i think the array is not the problem), but instead of getting an array of strings that are the urls to my photos, i have 10 urls and 11 lines of:

<bsTypedValue: Function>

10 lines for the print functions inside the loop, and one for the final array.
Does anyone knows what it means please?

Thank you.

I'm thinking you have a function or subroutine by the name of photo_url? If so, then photo_url is treated as a reference to that function instead of as an array. Also, if n is an integer you'll need to do this:

url = "http://www.mywebsite.com/photo" + n.tostr() + ".jpg"

You either need to change the name of your function or the name or your array, as they both have the same name right now, e.g:

Change:

Function Photo_URL(Number_Array as object) as object
    print Number_Array
    photo_url = []
    ....

To:

Function Photo_URL(Number_Array as object) as object
    print Number_Array
    photo_url_array = []
    ...

And, as Joel said, use .tostr() to convert your integer to a string so you can print it.

Once again it works, i changed the name of my array and it works great now.
Thank you.

Yeah, you have to be careful because Brightscript can be so insensitive.

[DLC]

That's what i can see, quite disturbing :cry:

Dude, that was a joke about case sensitivity. Many languages are not case sensitive and there is nothing wrong with a language that is not case sensitive.

I meant the fact that he refuses to work simply because he doesn't like the name of a variable, I have never seen that before (as for my short experience in programming of course )

Actually it was working perfectly based on how you coded it, just not on how you wanted it to work. Photo_URL is a Brightscript function and you tried to print it without passing variables in so it just tells you the type, that is pretty standard, C#, VB.NET, and Java all behave similarly at times (yes you can point out all the ways they don't, but these are different languages, I am just pointing out that there are SOME similarities).
