Re: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement

Heh, that's nothing. I don't have the code available, but I once wrote a ?: statement that was something like 16 deep. Ah, those were the days. :) -Andy On 1/29/07, Steven Sacks | BLITZ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (foo) ? foo() : (bar) ? bar() : (foobar) ? foobar() : trace(sorry! no soup

Re: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement

Usually ?: notation is used specifically for quickly choosing between 2 values (picking between 2 things inline). That's a case where you really have to have an else, otherwise you wouldn't have a value to represent the failure case of the IF part. If you're doing logic that isn't inline in a

Re: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement

hello :) I don't understand you question ? why you don't use the if keyword ? if ( isNaN(x) ) x = 0 ; you can use the || operator too function write ( txt ) { var message = txt || empty message ; trace(message) ; } write(hello) ; // output : hello write() ; // output : empty message

Re: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement

For that specific example, you can usually turn lines like return object ? true : null; into return Boolean( object ); as long as object != 0 and your code doesn't mind getting a false instead of a null. Most objects, as long as they exist, evaluate to Boolean true. Really, though, the

Re: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement

thanks everyone for your comments, yes in reallity I use the regular if {}else{} statement, but I was wondering if there was something similar to when you dont need the else statement, sort of testing on the fly but i think Mark made a good comment on use a return Boolean ( object ); I dont

Re: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement

Hello :) warning with the Boolean( o ) if your object is a number... the Boolean(0) is false but : var n = 0 ; trace(Boolean(n)) ; // false When you test a number the isNaN(n) is better i think :) EKA+ :) 2007/1/26, Helmut Granda [EMAIL PROTECTED]: thanks everyone for your comments, yes

RE: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement

does anybody knows if there is any short hand for if statement without the else statement? 1. You can remove the braces. I always use: if (true) something(); But rarely use: if (true) something(); else somethingElse(); because it can get lost visually in code. 2. Inline conditional I
