Professional conditions with IF
-
One of our former staff wrote this professional IF clause in VB.NET(Hell language)
IF TextBox1.Text=1 or 2 or 3 THEN ' Go to hell END IF:wtf: I tried to write codes like this, but couldn't. Can you help to write? :omg:SalarSoft wrote:
IF TextBox1.Text=1 or 2 or 3 THEN
Being VB illiterate... This does work as I fear it does? It sets the TextBox1.text to be "1" and then branches into the THEN, because 2 is equal to TRUE?
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Nope. Since it follows the
IFstatement, VB evaluatesTextBox1.Text=1as a conditional expression (I don't know if it results in a run-time error).jhwurmbach wrote:

Yes. :)

It shouldn't; nearly all flavors of VB automatically coerce numerics into strings.
Please don't bother me... I'm hacking right now. Don't look at me like that - doesn't anybody remember what "hacking" really means? :sigh:

I was quite confident about too, but my

[my articles]Really? Works fine for me in Access 2003. It will throw an error if Textbox1 is empty, since you can't coerce a comparison with an empty string (or a null).

Did you sack her for?

[my articles]No, we deported her and her friend cause they didn't skilled and they did lots of such mistakes ( I remember their nightmare creatures ). For example she named a function to something like this "girgo". X| Because of this naming, my friends named her "girgo". :laugh: Now the corporation focused on C#

I'm using Excel 2002. But I think that VBA version difference doesn't really matter in this case.

IMHO it will NOT throw only if the
Textbox1.Textvalue can be coerced to a number (i.e.Runtime ErrorifTextbox1.Textis equal to "foo"). :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

But... why on earth would that throw a Runtime Error? F00 is 3840... :wtf:

[my articles]This kind of thing is standard shortcut syntax in COBOL (or was when I last used COBOL many years ago): IF X = 1 OR 2 THEN... is the same as IF X = 1 OR X = 2 THEN... The big gotcha comes when you add a NOT into the mix. All new COBOL programmers would at some point write a statement like: IF X NOT = 1 OR 2 THEN.. which unfortunately expands to IF X NOT = 1 OR X NOT = 2 THEN.. so the condition is always satisfied. Some of those beginners learn from the experience and don't make the mistake again. Others, however....
