Hi, all! Glad to find this forum. I'm new to E-prime, but I'm familiar with SAS and (to a much more limited extent) R, so programming isn't entirely Greek to me. I have my handy E-Primer (Spape et al.), but I'm still a bit lost regarding some of the syntax's meaning(s). Maybe you all can help me.
For example, I have the following syntax . . .
VARIABLE = myObject.InputMasks.Responses.Count
and later . . .
keypressResponse = CKeyboardResponseData (_myObject.InputMasks.Responses(VARIABLE))
Questions:
1. My understanding is that a data type conversion is taking place, here. Is this correct, and if so, what is the direction of the conversion?
2. What is the purpose of the underscore (i.e., '(_' ) in the syntax?
3. Why is 'VARIABLE' in parentheses?
Any help is much appreciated!
