I'm doing a PB too.

It's suddenly dawned on me i no longer like using Basic. So i'm doing a PB and moving on. Like him, i'm sure i have my enemies here and i'm never one to admit i'm wrong, i'm very strong minded. I like to argue and love to the thrill of debate but i feel i'm probably always coming across as arrogant....

Re: ternary if or iif

While I understand your sentiment, OOP isn't really going to help! It's not supposed to be easy on your eyes, it's supposed to be fast! There is so much wrong with the above statement that i realise your brain is ' mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration ' so i'm going to bow out now and say...

Re: ternary if or iif

OOP wouldn't help at all, there's a reason for the repetition I'm sorry but there's no reason at all for repetition. And OOP would help a great deal here, it's called Polymorphism, one of the pillars of OOP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphism_in_object-oriented_programming Like i wrote earli...

Re: ternary if or iif

Who really cares? - most of PureBasic isn't anything like the original BASIC dialects. iff +1 True, but i'm just arguing if you're going to implement this, do it as an operator NOT a function and make it simple and easy to use. Operators can be optimised more to create inline code. MyVar.s = IsTrue...

Re: ternary if or iif

most BASICs support conditional expressions / Boolean Expressions. I know it since '83 from C64-Basic. Conditional expressions are not found in any BASIC language apart from VB which has the IIF() function which apparently isn't a true conditional expression but just a function. http://en.wikipedia...

Exactly! But it's a lot more easy to read than that code up there. Does any BASIC support condition expressions?

Re: ternary if or iif

I'm not sure if this is planned to be done though it could be very handy to have a ternary if or iif function while it can be done to some extent with macro's the cost of the procedure call is a bit of a performance hit and would be really nice to have in native code for convince. see http://www.pu...

Re: new Eventsystem

As much as I like OOP, I don't see how OOP is needed in order to make good use of event-handlers? If you take a look at his requested event syntax it's clear that it would become a gigantic mess of replication. OOP would be a prefered solution to avoid this to overload the event handlers to make th...

The current eventsystem is .. confusing?
If you are going to request this style of event handling then you really need an OOP based language. IMHO, PB's current event handling cannot get any simpler!

Re: Do we need to worry about disassembling?

The more helpful and less obtuse reply is, no.

Unless you are doing something very advanced then the likelyhood of some proficient cracker disassembling your work is very low.

To be more precise, + means 1 or more (unlimited), where'as if i had used * it would mean 0 or more.

Regular expression aren't hard per'say, they're just very easy to get lost in.
