Re: Logical Expressions

Now that you've made your code work, you can consider making it shorter and faster. LiveCode supports the syntax: put boolean expression into container For example, put gUSL = pos_vrange and gUSL = neg_vrange into Tester[x][rng_check] -- Dick On Jun 6, 2011, at 12:37 AM, Van Brollini wrote:
