I am a C developer and am trying to pick up Go. My question is this. C doesn't "care" about truthfulness, it just cares about zero and non-zero when evaluating a logical AND operator. So something like the following in C is totally kosher:
int a = 10; int b = 20; while(a && b) { do_something(); } However, Go requires blloean values used with the logical AND operator ... so my necessary code change for Go implementation becomes the following: var a,b int = 10,20 for (a != 0) && (b != 0) { do_something() } Is doing things this way absolutely necessary? It seems a lot clunkier and less elegant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
