056. Standards committee has approved conditional expressions#

topic: Conditionals

Note

This tip is a draft1.

@arclight The standards committee has approved conditional expressions, with

y = ( i>=1 .And. i<=Size(a) ? a(i) : -Huge(y) )

equivalent to

if (i>=1 .And. i<=Size(a)) then y = a(i) else y = -Huge(y) end if
