Simple as that. :roll:
Code: Select all
Define condition
condition=6
If condition = #True
debug "Condition is #True"
EndIf
If condition NOT #False
debug "condition is NOT #False"
EndIf
Code: Select all
Macro IsTrue(v)
v Or 0
EndMacro
Macro IsFalse(v)
0 Not v
EndMacro
Test = 0
If IsTrue(Test)
Debug "test is true"
EndIf
If IsFalse(Test)
Debug "test is false"
EndIf
Code: Select all
Test = 0
If Test
Debug "test is true"
EndIf
If Not Test
Debug "test is false"

Because pointless coding gymnastics force me to think about things I normally would not think about. Also because it helps a PureBasic noob like me gain a deeper understanding of the language. Other than that it's a good question and interesting to read everyone's reponses and code.Trond wrote:Why go through all of that hassle when you can do it correctly like this:Code: Select all
