Is `strip@pt` removing the hundreds as well as the `pt`?

I was getting some strange results trying to position things in beamer, and I realised that strip@pt was removing not only the pt, but also the hundreds from the number.



Here's my MWE:



documentclass{beamer} 

makeatletter
newcommand{testOne}{dimexpr100ptrelax}
newcommand{testTwo}{strip@ptdimexpr100ptrelax}
makeatother

begin{document}
begin{frame}
thetestOne

thetestTwo
end{frame}
end{document}


and the result:



enter image description here



This is a bug, right? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?



For the record, I need to remove the dimensions to avoid a warning from putat. In case this is an XY problem, I'm open for suggestions on better ways to position things on the slide.

    it's not strip@pt removing the 1, but the the that you added (as the error message shows)

  • thetestTwo yields thestrip@ptdimexpr100ptrelax yields the100 . Here the does not find that kind of expression it expects but the digit 1 and thus delivers an error-message and the digit 0, so in the end you have an error-message and the sequence 000. So the answer is: It is not a bug. You are doing something wrong.

After an error message you should not even look at the generated PDF. the posted document produces



! You can't use `the character 1' after the.
<argument> 1
00
l.13 end{frame}

?


You can not use the on 100



documentclass{beamer} 

makeatletter
newcommand{testOne}{dimexpr100ptrelax}
newcommand{testTwo}{strip@ptdimexpr100ptrelax}
makeatother

begin{document}
begin{frame}
