}
}What do you think the output is? “not 5”, as would be expected. But if you are stupid enough to do something like this (I was, after some refactoring), I would expect the compiler to at least throw a warning. Nope!
Also this is interesting:
public function baz2():void {
bar = 2;
var bar:String = "not 2";
trace(bar);
}does in fact throw this warning:
