If statement

I know this is elementary but I don't seem to get it. I want an if statement that activates when the object description is empty:

Something like this:
touch_start(integer num)
{
saved_start_param = ((integer)llGetObjectDesc());// constant is set

if((string) saved_start_param == "0";);
{

llSetObjectDesc("Rubbish";);

}
}

You're turning a string into a integer and then into a string agian? Try....
if(llGetObjectDesc()== "";)

also might want to read up more on typecasting, cool to see you use it but make sure you get it right, number one syntax I get is forgetting to typecast.

CODE

    touch_start(integer num)
   {
           saved_start_param = ((integer)llGetObjectDesc());// constant is set

            if((string) saved_start_param == "0");
            {     

             llSetObjectDesc("Rubbish");
          
            }
    }


The semicolon on the same line as the if is incorrect, remove it. This is in addition to the previous comment about unnecessary typecasting.
