Difference between SetConstant and Scope.Add

Hello,

I tried the following code

 Engine engine = new Engine();
 //engine.Scope.Add("time", 17);
 engine.SetConstant("time", 17);
 var result = engine.Interpret("(time > 12 ? (time - 12) + \" pm\" : time + \" am\")");

If I use Scope I get (unknown) am as the result If I use SetConstant I get the correct result as 5 pm

What are the differences Between these 2 methods, when do we use one over the other? I was wondering why SetConstant worked while Scope did not?

I did set it correctly with an int data type like this

No you did not. Int32 is not a native type. You should make it 17.0, as Double (called Number) is a native type in Mages.

Please look at the documentation.

Yes I just replied a fraction of a second ago. Apologies !
