In many dialects of BASIC (my first programming language), $ comes at the end of a variable name (e.g., NAME$) to indicate that the variable was a string (that example would often be read out loud as name-string). Remembering that, I never had to do the "it's the opposite" thing (for this case... I've done it for many other things). It's one of the few things I still remember about BASIC because I don't think I've written any ~40 years. |
