Because it's *specifically* used in ObjectiveC, which predates Apple's use of it, actually ask Brad Cox about it. YES and NO clearly indicate you're in ObjectiveC land, not C, so it's just a way to separate the two. Also given the style in ObjectiveC to have sentence like readability, it's not that surprising.

I believe it should be updated to reflect the almost hippie like status of the Apple culture:
if (TotallyBogus(NSObjectDude))
{
throw BogusDude();
}
else
{
NSObjectDude.Cool = "Awesome";
}

Because they can. :-D

Well... in my CCBool function (a CBool replacement for VBScript), they can. I acknowledge True, T, Yes, Y and X as true, everything else as false. Or, to quoute a famous RFC... in good protocol design, you should be liberal in what you accept and pedantic about what you send (or something like that).

what is wrong with "YES" and "NO"? or do you want "YES", "NO", "Cancel"? :)

I think that would be
if ( YES == [iDont know] )
{
NSLog( @"I don't know" );

It's a California thing; truth and falsehood are so, well, relative to one's life situation, you know?

In that case, I would have assumed that a bool would equate to "Gay" and "Straight". Marc

I want a bool to be true or false. Not Yes or No! It's Objective C not bloody Prolog!!! The only time I want something in my program to evaluate to a "Yes" is when someone buys the damn thing. >.< I also loathe the IB & IBOutlet crap. CS4 got it so much more right, that I wish I could use it for a suitable native language.

Hmm... I would think sexuality would be better represented by a
doublewhose value ranges between +1.0, exclusively heterosexual, and -1.0, exclusively homosexual (or vice versa).Software Zen:

Funny you mention that. I was talking with someone who says that psychologists believe that it's rare that people are on one extreme or the other. I guess the theory is that the majority of people fall between -1 and 0 or 0 and 1, and some cross over 0. I don't know. I think most of psychology is BS, but I guess like anything, it has its uses, up to a point. Marc
