Hi all,
in Jmol 14.3.13_2015.04.01b the minimum and maximum modifier functions
'.min' and '.max' change unexpectedly (at least for me) the type of the
result for integer variables to decimal.
--- Examples -----------
function minMaxTest(x, y) {
var minValue = [x, y].min;
var maxValue = [x, y].max;
print "x=" + x + "; xType=" + x.type;
print "y=" + y + "; yType=" + y.type;
print "minValue=" + minValue + "; minValueType=" + minValue.type;
print "maxValue=" + maxValue + "; maxValueType=" + maxValue.type;
print "-----";
}
minMaxTest(1, 2);
minMaxTest(1.0, 2.0);
minMaxTest("1", "2");
minMaxTest("1",2.0)
--- Example Output -----
x=1; xType=integer
y=2; yType=integer
minValue=1.0; minValueType=decimal
maxValue=2.0; maxValueType=decimal
-----
x=1.0; xType=decimal
y=2.0; yType=decimal
minValue=1.0; minValueType=decimal
maxValue=2.0; maxValueType=decimal
-----
x=1; xType=string
y=2; yType=string
minValue=1.0; minValueType=decimal
maxValue=2.0; maxValueType=decimal
-----
x=1; xType=string
y=2.0; yType=decimal
minValue=1.0; minValueType=decimal
maxValue=2.0; maxValueType=decimal
-----
------------------------
It looks like it is intended that the result is always decimal.
If this is the case I would recommend to mention this in the scripting
documentation, since it is not obvious to everyone for a set of integer
values.
Regards,
Rolf
