In the days of old-school BASIC it was common to
exploit the fact that boolean expressions evaluated
to 0 or 1 (or -1, depending on your dialect :) to
achieve conditional expressions or other tricks.
Probably forgiveable, given that there were no real
conditional expressions, and every byte of your 48K
or less of RAM was precious...
48K? Luxury!
