Hi all,
Just a rant about the SBasic AND operator.
Suppose this:
10 a=0
20 b=10
30 if (a<>0 AND b/a=5)
40 do_something
50 end if
Run it and what happens?
You get an "overflow" error at line 30.
You get this error because it is trying to evaluate the second condition
(b/a) and failing as a=0 and you can't divide by 0.
BUT WHY IS IT TRYING TO EVALUATE THE SECOND CONDITION IN THE FIRST PLACE?
The first condition (a<>0) is NOT met and so, in any other programming
language I use, the second condition isn't even tested, as the result
will
be "false" anyway because of this.
Apparently though, Sbasic still also tests the second condition.
Grrrr.
