Re: Issues with Outputs of Strings and Symbols

q makes a balance when displaying about levels of detail.

Always giving full exact information would make all output very messy and more like code rather than nicely displayed information for human to view.

 

There are some tools and tips you can use to inspect items in more detail during development and debugging.

Using .Q.s1 is most useful I find to drill down. (Along with usual type, count etc)
