    How can it be bool when the answer can be "Yes please"?

      Perhaps the software registers wire connectors and there really only is one alternative? :D

            Strange. I don't know that as a boolean flag. Here N can have any value from 0x0 - 0xF.

            Instruction: SET X Mnemonic: SEX Machine Code: EN Registers: N → X

                I can give you a good stack of assembly source code where this instruction is used frequently.

                  I just love it, when a fun post turns out to be a productive one. I'm just discovering this "null-conditional Operators" :laugh: I'm a bit outdated, may be C# 4.0, that's when I became a manager. lol happy to take away these cool tips :beer: Thanks Marc!

                    bool? is a nullable value type[^]. Null conditional operators[^] are something completely different. :)

                              I really hope this is a joke. :sigh:

                              Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

                                Given genders are hard to keep up with these days I use google's api to retrieve an up-to-date list rather than storing my own

                                public class Gender
                                {
                                public string Key { get; set; }
                                public string Description { get; set; }
                                public string PronounSubset { get; set; }
                                }

                                HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://genders.googleapis.com/genders/api/json?key=API\_KEY");
                                request.Method = "GET";
                                request.ContentType = "application/json";
                                WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
                                using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
                                {
                                string data = reader.ReadToEnd();

                                JavaScriptSerializer s = new JavaScriptSerializer();
                                var genders = s.Deserialize\>(data);
                                
                                foreach(var gender in genders)
                                {
                                    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("{0} {1} ({2})", gender.Key, gender.Description, gender.PronounSubset);
                                }
                                

                                }

                                I thought, "This looks handy. Let me try it." I have my own API_KEY so I set up in the call but couldn't make it work to genders.googleapis.com - I got a 404 error. Any ideas?

                                  I just love it, when a fun post turns out to be a productive one. I'm just discovering this "null-conditional Operators" :laugh: I'm a bit outdated, may be C# 4.0, that's when I became a manager. lol happy to take away these cool tips :beer: Thanks Marc!

                                  YW! Richard beat me to it, but my favorites are continuation and coalescing operators, so you can write stuff like this (not that you'd want to, mind you, at least without really thinking about whether your data model is really right, but really handy when you need it!):

                                  int? n;
                                  string ns = n?.ToString() ?? "0"; // oops, forgot the quotes in the original post.

                                      He was probably joking. The Android SDK defines it as female, male, or other. See [Person.Gender  |  Google APIs for Android  |  Google Developers](https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/plus/model/people/Person.Gender)

                                        Thanks Nish. I have given up on it for now. For my applications from now on there will be Male, Female or Undecided - I think that covers it.
