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:
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 notstrip@pt
removing the 1, but thethe
that you added (as the error message shows)

yieldsthestrip@ptdimexpr100ptrelax
yieldsthe100
. Herethe
does not find that kind of expression it expects but the digit1
and thus delivers an error-message and the digit0
, so in the end you have an error-message and the sequence000
. So the answer is: It is not a bug. You are doing something wrong.
