Be sure that the first time a variable is used you always give up the type of the var... Elseway it will always be seen as an integer...
As you can see in Fredlogs example the first c is called as c$... Once that's done you don't have to use the $ anymore to tell Blitz since Blitz will memorize it...
If you are not sure when c is used the first time, you could declare if first, then you are sure you'll never see any surprises... Like this...
Just always use the symbol in the first time you use a var, either when you use it for the first time or in a declaration with either "Global" or "Local"....
