Problems with indexing array

Hi everyone, 

my calculation looks like the following: (simplified)

const inputString = "0 1 2 3 4 5 6";

const itemsArray = inputString.split(' ');

const num= itemsArray[1];

(num); 

this works perfectly up to and including index [3]. However, index[4] and higher results in 

 

Can anyone explain to me why that is, and how I can overcome this problem?

Thanks,

Remo

  Hi Remo,

  for me it works:
  
  But you can try: num = String(itemsArray[5]) or Number(itemsArray[5]);
  
  Btw: Using const is useless because Podio's calc field JavaScript is ES5, const was introduced with ES6. Means also: Functions/methods introduced with ES6 don't work in Podio.

  Thanks, num = String(itemsArray[5]) does overcome the problem. It is unclear to me what the issue is, but for now I am satisfied.

  Also thanks for pointing out the ES5 vs ES6 stuff.

  It's caused by the way how Podio handles it in the background, I don't know any details, but it can be annoying.
