For me the bigger problem is that both statements change its behavior in function of its context. if a=b then 1 else 2; this is a pascal error, but z := if a=b then 1 else 2; Is it correct ? From my point of view is much more reasonable to use something like: z := iff(a=b,1,2); But to me it looks awful and a bit of c-ism and really horrible code could be written: z: Boolean; begin z := iff(a=b,iif(b=2,a=b,b<>a),not(a=b)); -- Best regards, JoshyFun _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
