Coercions Supported

AppleScript can change a value of one class into a value of another class. This is called coercion. The "Coercions Supported" section of a value class definition describes the classes to which values of that class can be coerced. For example, the coercions section for the value class List, described in List, notes that any value can be added to a list or coerced to a single-value list.

For more information about coercions, see Coercing Values. For a summary of the coercions supported for commonly used value classes, see Figure 3-3.
