Re: Any difference in conditionals?

Debugging. Type 1 has an additional break point that type 2 does not:

# conditional type1
if ($x1) {

   warn "x1 was true\n";

   if ($x2) {

      warn "x2 was true\n";

      print "here\n";
   }
}

# conditional type2
if ($x1 && $x2) {

   warn "well, they were both true ... still don't see the bug\n"; 

   print "here\n";
}

Now, the examples are very trivial, but i really have picked a more verbose style over another just so i could debug easier -- verbose can still be terse with Perl, though. ;)

This thought got me thinking... `if($x1 && (warn '$x1 OK... ') && $x2) { print "here\n"; }` [download] ... works like one might want it to work :) So _technically_ even this method allows for debugging. --Brock	[reply] [d/l]
