Reminders

A text containing digits is not handled as a number. To have an actual number:

  • use the @NUMBER_QUESTION to set the variable
  • write a numeric value directly in the code without quotes, ex: age >= 18
  • use a function which converts to a number: NUMBER(text_containing_numbers)
  • use a function which returns a number: FIND("world", "hello everybody")
