      I meant I shouldn't be learning how to return true or false depending on a variable's true or falseness which depends on an expressions true or falseness on which it should not depend at all, which would be false if you just started out, but true after almost a year of programming :sigh: Just true with me ;)

          Good one. At least you caught yourself. :)

          Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

                    Found myself coding something like the following just last week... :doh:

                    Dim bool as Boolean = False

                    If someExpression Then
                    bool = True
                    Else
                    bool = False
                    End If

                    If bool Then
                    Return True
                    Else
                    Return False
                    End If

                    Luckily I noticed just in time and simply Returned someExpression X| Some days its better to just stay in bed...

                    Looks like a good basis for a recursive function

                    If my jokes make me laugh, then I have already succeeded with 100% of my target audience

                      The next time someone tells you that true always returns true I want you to ask that person a question. Ask that person: Have you tested it? Frankly, when I see your code I see an excellent place to put a unit test. ;P
