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.

[Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
does anybody knows if there is any short hand for if statement without the else statement? at the moment I am using object ? true : null; thanks... ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
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 statement then you really
should be using the full syntax (if(...) { ... }).
So no, I don't think there is shorthand, as I don't think what you're
looking for would be a good construct to have. Then again, I could be
wrong. :)

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
if you use the cond?true:false operator to return a true value... you can
use directly the condition with the object.
if ( myObject )
{
trace(myObject exist !!!) ;
}
myObject is true if is defined and false if is undefined.
EKA+ :)

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 ternary operator is confusing enough as is. It tends to be a lot easier to read and maintain plain old if-statements in the long run. -John Mark Hawley From: Helmut Granda [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2007/01/26 Fri PM 03:01:25 CST To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement does anybody knows if there is any short hand for if statement without the else statement? at the moment I am using object ? true : null; thanks... ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com -- John Mark Hawley The Nilbog Group 773.968.4980 (cell) ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
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 know why i figured that the shorthand was something most people were
used to and using already...

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 :)

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 use this all the time. val = (boolean) ? trueVal : falseVal; 3. Inline or conditional val = (if true) || (if not true) This one is a little different than the inline conditional. val will be set to what is left of the || if what is left of the || resolves true (i.e. not 0, undefined or null), otherwise it will be set to what's to the right of the ||. You can also use these without setting a variable. // If boolean is true, call funcA, else call funcB. (boolean) ? funcA() : funcB(); // if funcA returns false, run funcB() funcA() || funcB(); HTH, Steven ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

RE: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
function foo() {

function bar() {

}
(true) ? foo() : bar();
-- foo
(false) ? foo() : bar();
-- bar
Works fine for me. Not the best practice (I would never use it), but
just showing what's possible with inline conditionals.
