Re^2: If Statement

Re: point 3: Maybe that C doesn't have naked blocks? So would if($cond) { $foo } $bar; mean

if($cond) {
    $foo
}
$bar;

or is it

if($cond) {
    { 
        $foo;
    }
    $bar;
}

No. C has naked block. Where do you think Perl got it? {grin} -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

naked blocks can be useful in C, because they allow you to declare variables somewhere in a function other than at the start, for example - `void MyFunction() { int a = 10; printf ("%d",a); { int b = 5; printf ("%d",b); } }` [download] The following would be illegal in C - `void MyFunction() { int a = 10; printf ("%d",a); int b = 5; printf ("%d",b); }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
