IF / ELSE statement

A simple question why the first example works and the second one not?
Code: Select all
uf = 1
If (uf = 1)
uf = New Text
ufa := uf
MsgBox % ufa ; this one works
Code: Select all
uf = 1
ufa := (uf = 1)?(uf = New Text):("") ; this one doesn't give me any value
MsgBox % ufa
While this example works..
Code: Select all
count = 5
result := (count > 2 and count < 10)?(count + 3):(count <= 2)?(count - 1):("10")
MsgBox % result

ufa := (uf = 1)?(
ufa = New Text):("") ; this one doesn't give me any value
This (
ufa = New Text) is
not a value, string or something else, you can store in a variable.
Try this:
Code: Select all
uf = 1
ufa := (uf = 1)?("New Text"):("") ; this one will give you a value
MsgBox % ufa
return
"New Text" is storable into a variable.

so using this method I cannot create a new variable, just change the active one?

Code: Select all
var = true ; string 'true'
MsgBox % var
var := "true" ; the colon-equal operator evaluates an expression and stores the result in a variable; in this case, everything that is not encloed in quotes is supposed to be the name of a variable
MsgBox % var
var := true ; true as boolean value using thecolon-equal operator - displays 1
MsgBox % var
x := (var) ? ("True", newvar:=functiontest()) : ("False", newvar:=400) ; if var is true x will be set to the string "True" and newvar will be set to the value returned by the function "functiontest"
MsgBox % x
MsgBox % newvar
x := (not var) ? ("True", newvar:=functiontest()) : ("False", newvar:=400) ; if var is false x will be set to the string "False" and newvar will be set to 400
MsgBox % x
MsgBox % newvar
functiontest() {
return "Hello, world!"
}
