For that specific example, you can usually turn lines like return object ? true : null;
into return Boolean( object ); as long as object != 0 and your code doesn't mind getting a false instead of a null. Most objects, as long as they exist, evaluate to Boolean true. Really, though, the ternary operator is confusing enough as is. It tends to be a lot easier to read and maintain plain old if-statements in the long run. -John Mark Hawley > > From: "Helmut Granda" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2007/01/26 Fri PM 03:01:25 CST > To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> > Subject: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement > > does anybody knows if there is any short hand for if statement without the > else statement? > > at the moment I am using > > object ? true : null; > > thanks... > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > To change your subscription options or search the archive: > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > > Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software > Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training > http://www.figleaf.com > http://training.figleaf.com > -- John Mark Hawley The Nilbog Group 773.968.4980 (cell) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
