[REBOL] Re: Rebol interpreter bug with comparison of dates
From: anton:lexicon at: 4-Dec-2002 17:00
Andrew,
An invalid comparison should throw an
invalid comparison
error.
If a < b returns false, that implies
that a >= b should return true, but
under your scheme it would also return false.
I think your scheme would produce far more
complications.
Maybe an explanation for the problem is that
the < operator tries to convert the second
argument to the datatype of the first argument.
So a word can perhaps be converted to a date
(I did this in the console via a string).
But I had trouble converting a word to a date!
Anton.
