PureBasic Forums - English

The Purebasic Debugger toggle is a very nice feature: we can easily control the use of debug-statements in the sourcecode and can switch them on an off, so that the compiler ignores debug if we wish it.
However, if i found with debug all failures and errors, I start deleting all or most of the ...

Select item

CASE 1
candlevisible=1

; if you do a CASE ELSE here, you will never get a Check for CASE 2, CASE 3!
CASE ELSE candlevisible=0

CASE 2
lanternvisible=1
CASE ELSE lanternvisible=0

Endselect

EndProcedure


Stop the discussion!


I agree, Features and Wishlist is not the right ...

In your inventory example you are imagining hundreds of inventory items. A CASE ELSE is being used to update a variable showing each thing is visible or not visible depending on if it is the inventory item being used. If a SELECT/CASE is used it would not update the variables after the first ...

I also dont know about the use of the command BOOL in conjunktion with SELECT/ENDSELECT. To compare the SELECT variable with >,< ... was my original intend. Unfortunatly that way it is not possible to compare the SELECT Variable, because we must set the variable always to #true.Or am i wrong ...

To find an example for my previous post, I quickly threw together a code sample. It didn't turn out particularly well, but it should illustrate what I mean:
the possibility of using CASE ELSE to set a variable or execute a procedure before another CASE occurs, because the subsequent one depends ...

While improvements of this nature can certainly be beneficial, Fred has expressed an opinion on Select last year :

PB supports multicase and the 'To' keyword which allow ranged tests, which is enough for case IMHO. If you need complex compare, If/ElseIf is the way. https://www.purebasic.fr ...

I just thought of another use case where CASE ELSE would actually make sense if DEFAULT is reached: namely, when, for a number like in the example, a procedure or something else must be executed BEFORE the next CASE query if there is no match.

But enough about that now; perhaps others can think of ...

As a note : my original intent was the relational operators, i believe they a useful.
I know, if someone wants to make a joke, he could say: "Use IF...THEN...ELSE"

an enhancement of SELECT CASE was requested In old posts (2003,2004 ...), but relational operators are until today not implemented. In Visual Basic i see that relational operators like <,>, ... are implemented with the command IS, and there are also the ELSE CASE (or CASE ELSE ? :-) ) command. I ...

I don't know if other people are interested in this at the moment, but I would like to do some retro programming, to be precise, Amiga and C64, as I had these computers when I was young.
C64 with Purebasic would of course be great too (perhaps a future feature? :-) Or maybe a tool? Anyone interested ...

I know, this is an old topic, but for everyone who is interested in Amiga programing,
there are many books now open source to download under archive.org:

Hi GPI,

is the translation of the C headers with the new PB6 version still necessary ?
SDL is now at version 2.0.22, is it easier to include it in PB6 ?
