Unnecessary Escapment Flagged but shouldn't be flagged

Posted on Tue 6th, September 2016

A yellow triangle warning appears in WebIDE that flags the escapement.

//unnecessaryEscapment.js
//PICO v 1x86

// A is flagged as unecessary escapment
// with a yellow triangle in the right side of WEBIDE
var A="\x31";
var B="x31";

console.log("A= ",A);
console.log("B= ",B);

The output:

>echo(0);
A=  1
B=  x31
=undefined

Yes, it's flagged because there was no need to use "\x31" when you could have just typed "1"

Why do you think it shouldn't be flagged?

Yes it goes away in this one. A matter of taste I suppose.

//unnecessaryEscapment.js
//PICO v 1x86

// A is flagged as unecessary escapment
// with a yellow triangle in the right side of WEBIDE
var A="\xdb";
var B="xdb";

console.log("A= ",A);
console.log("B= ",B);
>echo(0);
A=  Û
B=  xdb
=undefined

Yes - In a way I could research and add more options to the Web IDE for these kind of things, but to be honest if you're getting upset about escaped hex in strings, it's probably not that hard for you to download the IDE from Git and tweak the relevant setting or add an option yourself :)

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
