why does msgboxes show different result in this code?

#include <Crypt.au3>
; Script Start - Add your code below here
_Crypt_Startup()
$yo = _Crypt_HashData(500, $CALG_MD5)
MsgBox(0,"",$yo)
$500 ='500'
$yo = _Crypt_HashData($500, $CALG_MD5)
MsgBox(0,"",$yo)

$yo = _Crypt_HashData('500', $CALG_MD5)
MsgBox(0,"",$yo) ; Correct Result
_Crypt_Shutdown()

$500 = 500
$500two = "'" & $500 & "'"
$yo = _Crypt_HashData($5002, $CALG_MD5)
MsgBox(0, "", $yo)

ActualAkshay,

You get a different result from the first encryption because you are encrypting a number - the second and third results are identical (as I expected) because you are encrypting the same string in each case.

All clear?

Edit: And the fourth is different again because you are encrypting a different string (with surrounding quotes).

If you did want 500 and "500" to return the same encryption string, then look at StringIsDigit, IsNumber and Number.

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <Crypt.au3>

_Crypt_Startup()

Local $sString = '500'
If StringIsDigit($sString) Or IsNumber($sString) Then
    $sString = Number($sString)
EndIf
Local $bHash = _Crypt_HashData($sString, $CALG_MD5)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $bHash)

Local $iNumber = 500
If StringIsDigit($iNumber) Or IsNumber($iNumber) Then
    $iNumber = Number($iNumber)
EndIf
$bHash = _Crypt_HashData($iNumber, $CALG_MD5)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $bHash)

_Crypt_Shutdown()
