It's always good to include one here or there to confuse the uninitiated.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostTricky beggars, those ternary operators. They catch me out every now and again


Unions and bit fields are good for that too.
Especially if you're doing sommat like converting bigendian to littleendian or even better, converting one sort of floating point to sommat completely different.

Oh yes.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostOne of my first programming jobs. Fortran 77's equivalence was useful IIRC...
them were the days.Code:EQUIVALENCE()
I used EQUIVALENCE a lot in the crap I used to write.
Most of it done in an 8K (yes, that's 8192 word) partition with overlays and such like.
Used to crash the GA16-220 quite frequently when developing that sort of stuff.Last edited by zeitghost; 11 September 2014, 12:09.Comment
