Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

Hi,
My little wish is, to have the possibilities in PB for receiving results of assignments.
In example:
Code: Select all
if let ( MyVariable = 100 ) = 100 : CallMyFunction () : endif
(Checking if MyVariable has the value 100.)
... or ...
Code: Select all
resultOfTheAssignment = let ( MyVariable = 100 )
(resultOfTheAssignment receives the value of MyVariable.)
Similar to PHP:
Code: Select all
if ( ( $result = 123 ) == 123 ) echo 1;
if ( ( $result = 123 ) == 321 ) echo 2; // No equivalence
Best regard
Wolf

I was actually thinking this myself. I think what we're looking for is the ability to evaluate an expression before the 'If'.

I know that this is possible in C because the Assignor and the Comparator are differerent symbols, "=" and "==".
oh... and have a nice day.

The deeper usefulness of this feature is that it makes the code harder to read.

Right!, which converts it in less than a "useful-less" feature.

I not daft but what exactly is the usefulness of this feature? From the examples show I can't see it, a few words of enlightenment from the sages here would go a long way in clearing this up for me.
I am aware of these aspects in the C language but have not used them.
