COND(

General Form:

     COND(cond1 [operator cond2] ... )

     Where:

The COND( function converts a condition into a Boolean expression with zero considered to be FALSE and non-zero considered to be TRUE. The condition may contain a mixture of both alpha and numeric conditions separated by logical operators.

The COND( function compliments the BOOL( function which converts a numeric expression to a Boolean expression, for example:

age = 20
height = 6.6
sex$ = "M"
result = COND(age<25 AND sex$=="M")
IF (BOOL(result) AND height>6)
type$="TALL MALE"
END IF

would set the variable type$ to "TALL MALE".

The COND( function is valid wherever a numeric expression is valid.

Syntax examples:

testing = COND(abc<10 OR tmp$=STR(a$,,2))
tmp = COND(NOT a<=10 AND tmp$=z$ OR B=6)
