issue with counting loop node

[takbb]

Hi @Amit_Mohanty,

You are right that the outputting of only Long from the Expression node is problematic The Long vs Int issue with the Expression node is further discussed in this thread based on the 5.3 release, and in the graphic I noted a number of nodes for which this would be an issue, including the Counting Loop…

New (KNIME 5.3) Expression node "integers"

The Long datatype has for some time been the “poor cousin” of the datatypes within KNIME and neglected in many of the scripting-based nodes. The new Expression node goes the other way and neglects Integer in favour of Long. I see the point for the future, but the implementation is in my view neglecting the “now”, and ignoring the other nodes that people will be using. I too had considered that the main problem node was Math Formula but on further investigation, the issue is a little more wides…

In the Variable Expression node (I’m looking at KNIME5.4.4 but this functionality may have appeared in an earlier release), it is possible to specify the output type as either Integer (int) or Long (long int).
