1st question: Why do people use -1 in the pos offset of strfind? shouldn't it be 0? to start searching for the word from the first letter of the string? Please explain.

2nd question: I saw this code example of strval in Wiki:

pawn Код:

new string[4] = "250";
new iValue = strval(string); // iValue is now '250'

I don't understand whats the use of it when you can just do:

pawn Код:

iValue = string;

Please explain.

-Thankyou.
