Hi list,
I made a test as: A=B=C=5, the non-clear error msg is:
Ambiguous expression. Please use braces
does it mean: {curly braces}, (round brackets / parenthesis) or [square
brackets]?
(as many people improperly use the 2nd one with this name)
JY
As this is basic (well, Almost Basic), normal parenthesis (-) should
be used...
Are you trying to test for B equals C and assign the result to A? Or
whatever? The gambas parser is not the most intelligent I've seen, but
the expression is truely ambiguous, so the reply of the parser is
'correctly' ambiguous too... :-)

The '=' operator is binary and not associative, so your expression is
ambiguous.
What you want to achieve is that:
(A = B) And (B = C) And (C = 5)

no, I don't wanna make a comparison, I just wanna have A=5, B=5 C=5
(did that in C if I remember well), as normally, the rightmost operande
should propagate to the left.
That's not SO important: I was just making small test to see if it was possible,
this is a very common writing in Python too.

You're right, I will fix that.

You must each assignment on its own line:
A = 5
B = 5
C = 5
Because of the BASIC syntax, '=' is the assignment operator *and* the equality
comparison operator, and so the C-like syntax cannot be implemented.
