Inline IF and assignment
I'd like to to assign a value to a variable, depending on the results of a condition. The equivalent of what can be done in c++ with the following:
(a>b) ? a=1:a=0;
Or in python:
a = 1 if a>b else 0
This makes the code much more readable and compact.
In objectscript it would be:
if (a>b){
a=1
} else{
a=0
}
Product version: IRIS 2021.1
One option is $select:
set a=$select(a>b:1,1:0)
You could could also put the if..else on a single line:
if (a<b) { set a=1 } else { set a=0 }
This would also achieve the same result, but is a bit more limited:
set a=(a>b)
I guess $select is the best way to do it in Objectscript. It's not as intuitive as the other languages, but still it keep it simple and concise.
Thanks
Hi, Nicola
I think best option is $Select as Jolyon write, but you have this option too
set a=0 set:(a>b) a=1
will that work?
