Languages Focus: Empty String Check

An empty string is a zero length string, a string that is equal to null (""), or not assigned. In some languages, you can check if a string is empty by comparing it to an empty string (""). Some languages distinguish between nil and null ("") so checking if the length is 0 is easier.

ObjectPAL Empty String Check

In ObjectPAL, an empty variable can be unassigned (essentially null) or blank (equivalent to ""). You have to use both isBlank and isAssigned to check for an empty string.

Syntax Example:

var
 s String
endVar

;s = ""  ;Uncomment to test 2nd case.

if isBlank(s) or not isAssigned(s) Then
 msgInfo("", "empty string")
endIf

Testing Out isBlank and isAssigned Code

Add the following code to a pushButton event of a button to test out isBlank and isAssigned.

var
 s String
endVar

;Neither s="" not size(s)=0 work with unassigned!!!
;if s = "" Then
;if size(s) = 0 then


;Try not assigning at all and then
;uncomment the following line of code.
s = ""

if isBlank(s) then
 msgInfo("", "blank")
endIf

;unAssign(s) ;Uncomment to test following.

if not isAssigned(s) then
 msgInfo("", "not assigned")
endIf

WPS is the abbreviation of Wi-Fi protected pin, and in reality, it is a combination of eight-digit numbers, especially used as a means of authentication when you’re to connect your printing device with Wi-Fi. This pin is a must used utility for establishing a connection between your router, wireless printers, and other devices. In order to locate WPS Pin the first, you should move to the control panel on your HP Printer, after that move to the settings option. There is a Wi-Fi setup option, following the prompts you will get the option to show WPS pin on screen.

I see no sense in the blank string. It should contain some information. Otherwise, what is the point? If you want to check a reliable source visit the one located here http://essaywritingstore.com/ they will never leave your paper blanc.

If you want to know the way of How to add money to Cash app card to make a digital transaction, then go ahead to read all the terms & conditions. Actually, for it, you are asked to visit any nearest Walmart store and then be in touch with the Cashier to add money on your Cash app card in an innate way. And, one more thing, you have to pay a fee to do it.
