Ternary operator, begin/end

[Ñuño Martínez]

I don't.

IIRC there's an Iff OVERLOADed function collection somewhere (sysutils?). If it isn't you can build it by your own.

  FUNCTION Iff (CONST TheCondition: BOOLEAN; CONST Value1, Value2: REAL): REAL; OVERLOAD; INLINE;
  BEGIN
    IF TheCondition THEN RESULT := Value1 ELSE RESULT := Value2
  END;

  FUNCTION Iff (CONST TheCondition: BOOLEAN; CONST Value1, Value2: STRING): STRING; OVERLOAD; INLINE;
  BEGIN
    IF TheCondition THEN RESULT := Value1 ELSE RESULT := Value2
  END;

Using VARIANT or generics would help too.

Anyway I'm not friend of borrow stuff from other languages. I like and use Pascal and Object Pascal as they were. If you like C# or Ada stuff then use C# or Ada.
