This got me thinking.
Is it like pre-processor directive (a compiler feature of Clipper/XBase) ?

Is it like pre-processor directive (a compiler feature of Clipper/XBase) ?
I apologize in advance for my post as it is not the right place; but its ending part...
In Italy a relatively new party seemed to want to realize what you and I dream of; in addition, it streamed important meetings. In a short time it managed to get 33% of the votes in a national election. After that it disappointed everyone by not putting into practice what it proclaimed.
What is the ending that can be interesting? That I'd like to see Erel streaming while he...
More generally I'd like to see how he works.
I think I've already written this in the past.
When I asked him what tools he used, for example to generate diagrams, he replied:
and correction fluid?
?
Because Erel uses second piece of paper. The first one already become crumpled ball. ?
Another example:
And a more complex one:
B4X:
Button1.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("setMouseTransparent", Array(True))
'equivalent to:
Dim jo As JavaObject = Button1
jo.RunMethod("setMouseTransparent", Array(True))And a more complex one:
B4X:
Log(Me.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("sum", Array((10).As(Float), (20).As(Double))))
'equivalent to:
Dim jme As JavaObject = Me
Dim f As Float = 10
Dim d As Double = 20
Log(jme.RunMethod("sum", Array(f, d)))
#if Java
public double sum(float n1, double n2) {
return n1 + n2;
}
#End If
Great examples. Very clear and easy to like! ?
? ?
So using your example above, against a previous problem question posted in forum, we could now get the correct result.
Original problem
Could be written as
Which should result in the correct result.
Original problem
B4X:
Dim result As Long
result=24*60*60*180*1000 ' Result was incorrectCould be written as
B4X:
Dim result As Long
result=24*60*60*180*(1000).As(Long)! ?
(10).As(Double)
A constant expression like 10 has a method called .As()
See, I have glasses for the brain. Glasses and glasses. Of beer.I would need glasses for the brain too, though.
?
Soon we can write any app with B4X with only one line of code ?
In 1986 a program code "listing" appeared in a magazine about the Sinclair Spectrum computer. The program defined graphics for a ship and a helicopter and the program made you control the helicopter to land on the ship(which was rocking in the ocean). The helicopter blew up if you missed the landing.
The program consisted of 28 lines of Sinclair Basic code.
Yes. Better to start with the Long type as the expression is evaluated from left to right:
B4X:
result=(24).As(Long)*60*60*180*1000Testing nested IIf:
B4X:
Private Sub Button1_Click
Label1.Text = IIf(IsNumber(TextField1.Text) = False, "Invalid number", IIf(TextField1.Text > number, "My number is smaller", IIf(TextField1.Text < number, "My number is larger", "Well done!!!")))
End Sub
