In the first case you have a boolean expression...in your second case,
you have no boolean just two integer values...thus you're attempting to
compare apples to oranges in the two example cases.
dim y as boolean
Case: y = (x =4), since x<>5, then y (boolean) is False
Case: y = (x=5), since x=5, then y (boolean) is True
in your second example y is most probably dimensioned as an integer or
some other numeric value that is NOT boolean and you have two arithmetic
variable expressions with the independent expression being x=5, and the
dependent expression y=10. (y=10 if x=5). As you should see, there isn't
a boolean value (true or false) here to evaluate.
Another way to handle this would be
Dim y as Integer, x as Integer
Select Case y
Case 5
x =10
Case Else
' whatever
End Select

I was reading that you can simplify an If Then Else Statement such
as:
If x = 5 then
y = True 'y is boolean
else
whatever
end if
by re-writing as
y = (x = 5)
Because if (x = 5) is evaluated to "True" then
y is initialized to "True" also.
That's all well enough, but I'm having trouble seeing how to use
this eye pleasing space saver to handle something like this:
If x = 5 then
y = 10
else
whatever
end if
Can anyone explain this to me?
