I don’t remember what it did exactly. Like this maybe?
n = (x != 0) ? 10 : 20;
if x <> 0 then
n := 10
else
n := 20;
n := IfThen(x <> 0, 10, 20);
People are probably sick of doing that and wanted a more concise statement.
I’ve even seen people do stuff like this because they’re fighting the language.
if x <> 0 then n := 10 else n := 20;
They probably wanted something like this:
n := if x <> 0 then 10 else 20;
Not too crazy in my opinion.
