is it ok to do this

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-23 13:51 ID:6CyOAcE6

instead of

int f(a) {
if(a == 3) return 1
else return 0;
}
to write

return (a == 3);
? thanks in advance

Yes.
It's the first step in the long path of EXPERT PROGRAMMING.

depends on language

should i cast it or not?

eg

short *f(a) {
return (short)(a == 3);
}

oh forgot to mention, C.

>>4
there's a mistake there, f is supposed to return a short value not a pointer to a short

You should certainly not cast it, also GTFO go read a book on C faggot

>>7
then why is NULL defined as ((void*)0)

example,


void *f(int a) {
if(a == 1) return (void*)1;
else return NULL;
}
and

void *f(int a) {
return (a == 1)
}

Its not, maybe it is on your implementation but its not defined that way in C.

now, FUCK OFF.

not only it is ok, it's the right way to do it. Anything else is wrong.
Not only that, but suppose you want to return something like

if (a == 3) return 'a';
else return 'b';

it's not the proper way to do it. The proper way is to use the ternary operator, ?:, like this

return a == 3 ? 'a' : 'b';

the same goes for stuff like

if (a == 3) then val = 4;
else val = 10;

you better write

val = (a == 3 ? 4 : 10);

the same goes if you have something like

if (a == 3)
f(a,b,c,d,e,f);
else
f(a,b,c,d,e,g);

just write
f(a,b,c,d,e, a == 3 ? f : g);
it's cleaner, believe me.

the right way?
the ternary operator is optional, the language would still work without it.

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-23 15:26 ID:Heaven

NULL is a pointer, not a boolean.

The C syntax for the ternary operator is the biggest fail in human history. Do not use it in C, Java or any other language that contain this faggotry.

Nothing is wrong with the ternary operator yet it is not mandatory. Sometimes ternary is avoided in code that you debug, it makes it easier, and there are other reasons for not using ternary.

But I spam it like hell at every chance I get anyway.

languages would still work with the few brainfucks operators. your point?
>>15
yes, the syntax is a bit awkward. live with it.

No, the syntax is not awkward. The syntax is perfect. Live with perfection or GTFO C.

Except OP is returning 1 if a IS equal to 3.

return !(a-3);

Also sage.

You are not an EXPERT ENTERPRISE PROGRAMMER.

Comparison cmpAEq3 = new Comparison(new ComparisonOperator(OperatorSignature.getInstance().getSignatureForString("==")));
cmpAEq.bindLeft(a);
cmpAEq.bindRight(Number(3));
FunctionResult res = new FunctionResult(new BooleanResult(cmpAEq.performComparison().toBoolean()))
return FunctionResult.getValue();

do it in XML THEN you can claim TRUE ENTERPRISE.

XML? We don't want to reinvent the wheel here. Use MathML, then you're thinking business logic.

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-25 19:06 ID:A5dFBmqk

ternary operator is good for avoiding duplication of code

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-26 8:22 ID:8Ffse2mk

XML is like violence.  If it doesn't work, use more.

you know what'd be nice? if you could do this:
a?=b:c

true

false

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-26 10:17 ID:dFYg3IDF

>>29
and what the fuck is that supposed to mean?
if a true assign it the value of b else c?
you can do it, but you have to use one more byte, oh god ONE MORE BYTE IN THE SOURCE!
a=a?b:c

C lacks proper macros :(

But at least you can
#define _if(c, t, f) ((c) ? (t) : (f))

not only that, but why would you want to do that?

#define _if(c, t, f) ((c) ? (t) : (f))

bitches don't know about my enterprise preprocessor abuse

#define LOOPFDSET_ITER_INIT_GETNEXT_GETSOCKET(iter, init, getnext, getsocket) for(iter = init; iter != NULL; iter = iter getnext) { if(iter getsocket != -1) { FD_SET(iter getsocket, &fdesc); maxDescrID = ((iter getsocket > maxDescrID) ? iter getsocket : maxDescrID); } }

You'll see, if you have

a=a?b:c
then 'a' has to be a boolean. And b and c have to be booleans as well. furthermore, they have to be variables, elsewhere they won't have any sense

a=a?true:false

is the identity.

a=a?false:true

is the negation (I don't know if java bools have an imperative negation method)

a=a?b:true

is equivalent to !a || b, again, an imperative or method handles it.

and so on.
