Functions and #eval
|
Please could someone help. I am sure I must be doing something stupid but so far have failed to spot what it is. I have tried to reproduce the exable from the 7.05 help file on functions:
---------
#FU fact {%if(%1<=1,1,%1*@fact(%eval(%1-1)))}
#EVAL @fact(5)
will display 120 given the above definition
#SHOW @fact(5)
will display 5*4*3*2*1 given the above definition
----------
However, when I run the examples both the #SHOW and #EVAL return:
5*4*3*2*1
The #EVAL does not seem to be evaluating the string to return 120. Any ideas why I am unable to reproduce the example? |

#EVAL obviously doesn't fully evaluate the function. It's a bug. Report it if it's not already on the bug list.
