Inconsistency in Builder compiler

Robert_Davies_(unlondonadmin_-_(deleted))

I don't understand this, if I define an OScript function:function String Patch( \ String directory = undefined, \ Integer minPatchLevel = 0 ) //Stuff here returnendThe compiler complains that I must return a string. Fair enough. But if I define the function:function String Patch( \ String directory = undefined, \ Integer minPatchLevel = 0 ) //stuff hereendThe compiler does not complain even though I am again not returning a string.Is this a bug in the compiler? What is being returned if there is no return statement?Best regards/matt.

The default return value for a function when no value is specified is the Undefined value. This is one of the features that contributes to OScript's conciseness. It differs from traditional languages, which would usually issue an error in this context.
