Is possible to use functions in conditional operator as ashown below.
.....
.....
int fun1()
{
// body
}

int fun2()

//body
}

....

int x;
x = (a>b)?fun1():fu n2();
}

Well, in Java you can do it with Object reference variables.

x=(a>b?string1: string2).equals ("hi");


The concept works on C too, except that it's messy to include a reference to
the object as part of the method's arguments.

#include <string.h>

struct string {
int (*equals)(struc t string *, const char *);
char *data;
};

int str_equals(stru ct string *this, const char *other)
{
return !strcmp(this->data, other);
}

int main(void)
{
struct string string1 = {str_equals, "Hello"};
struct string string2 = {str_equals, "World"};
int x, a = 1, b = 2;
x = ((a > b) ? string1 : string2).equals (((a > b) ? &string1 : &string2),
"hi");
return 0;
}

Hi everyone, Is there a reason why the Mid() function only works in one direction in VBScript? This code works in VB6 but not in VBScript? Is there a way around it?

I am experimenting with function pointers. Unfortunately, my C book has nothing on function pointers as function parameters. I want to pass a pointer to ff() to f() with the result that f() prints the return value of ff(). The code below seems to work, but I would appreciate your comments. Have I got it right? Does the function name "decay" to a pointer? #include <stdio.h> /* declares a function which takes an argument that is a...

Any comments on the correctness of the statements 1, 2a, 2b, 3 and 4 in the code below? If they are correct, then the definition of an object as well as that of an lvalue is broken in C99 by the following reasoning: foo() does not return an object, so the return of foo() conceptually is not stored, yet we are able to obtain a pointer to one of its member elements, therefore it must be stored, therefore foo() does return an object,...

Consider this code (.Net 2.0) which uses a nullable type: private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { DateTime? nullableDate; nullableDate = (condition) ? null : DateTime.Now; } When the condition is false, I want to return null. If true, I want to return the current date/time.

I was just thinking that I understood the conditional operator when I coded the following expecting it to fail: int a= 10, b= 20, c= 0; ((a < b) ? a : b) = c; // a=0 a=20; b= 10; ((a < b) ? a : b) = c; //b=0 Now since the expresion 5 = c is not valid I did not expect the above to work. But it does work. Why? I thought that the ?: operator would evaluate

In hindsight, I am disappointed with the choice of conditional syntax. I know it's too late to change. The problem is y = some thing or other if x else something_else When scanning this my eye tends to see the first phrase and only later notice that it's conditioned on x (or maybe not notice at all!). Particularly if 'some thing or other' is long or complicated.
