[Gambas-user] casting or changing datatype.

[nando]

I believe that you are looking for is Variant

Public Function myResult (thestr as String) as Variant

if thestr = "Hello" then Return 0          'This is a integer
if thestr = "Bye"   then Return "Daytime"  'This is a String
if thestr = "PI"    then Return 13.14159   'This is floating
