getBarState vs getBarState()

[dloomis]

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but if

getBarState

is used the values expected are not returned.

One must use getBarState().

Also, no error is reported in the first case.

Hello dloomis,

No bug here. getBarState() is a function, so it requires the parentheses to execute. Just basic syntax for calling functions. The reason you don't get an error just using getBarState is because JavaScript is a soft-typed language, which means you do not have to declare variable explicitly. Your formula just thinks you've created a variable called getBarState.

You are right, of course.

I have been tripped up on this so many times.

Maybe now I'll remember.
