hey, wouldn't it be cool to also have a function that would allow you to
give it the values you wanted to compare against a variable and if a
match
existed in the list...return a certain value? i think i'd call that
function
"switch-a-roo"...maybe just "SWITCH". but that's years down the line...way
too advanced for the technology we have today! after all, we've still
gotta
work out how this "IF THEN ELSE ELSEIF" stuff is going to work! another
wish
list item i'd have would be maybe something called "SELECT". its purpose
would be to unclutter IF/THEN/ELSEIF/ELSE when you had a bunch of
conditions
where you may want to execute code...maybe call the comparitor value a
"CASE"...like "in case this value is eq. to this other value".
but i digress, that's all just too far in the future.
lol
I have a truly radical idea. Maybe we could have variables that could hold
different kinds of data! Like if you set it equal to a string, it would
become a string variable. If you set it to an integer, it would switch to
being an integer.
Wadaya think? Too difficult? Too strange a concept? Would it even be
useful, like if you didn't know what kind of data you were going to get?
If/Then/ElseIf/Else...I'll have to think about that one. We may be onto
something there. I think there's a problem, though. How will the compiler
know how many lies belong to the Else? I think it should have an EndIf or
something like that.
