&& operator - darksun84 - 04-03-2012 11:18 PM
Hello ,
just a quick question , is the operator && short-circuited in sphere ?
RE: && operator - dagger4k - 04-03-2012 11:31 PM
what do you mean by short circuited
RE: && operator - darksun84 - 04-03-2012 11:40 PM
Like
a = 0
b = 1
if (a != 0 && b ==1 )
If the && operator is short circuited ,the second operation (b==1 ) doesn't get evaluated because the first operation is false .
Instead , if the && operator is not short circuited , the second operation will be anyway executed even if it's useless to evaluate it .
Better explained

i think it is not, im tested it like this:
Code:
[function short_bla]
ref1=06f82 //uid of a character
if ((<ref1.isitem>) && (<ref1.type> = t_weapon_fence)) //this line gives error, this means second statement is controlled even first one is false
endifRE: && operator - ShiryuX - 04-04-2012 01:07 AM
It is not.
Code:
[function fTest]
local.testing = 0
if ( <local.testing> && <f_test> )
serv.log yay!
endif
[function f_test]
serv.log we're firing this anyway
return 1Code:
12:06:(sphere_test.scp,19)we're firing this anywayGot to admit something:
1. I forgot to add < > to f_test
2. Instead of return 1, I used return true.
3. Probably, this is because I got used to C++
