Post #84,231 by CRConrad 2/26/03 6:34:26 AM Reply	Fugly syntax kind'a repeats itself: YTF "select" AND "case"? Our residentnoncapitalisedpoet claims VB's "range" case construct is so cool: Select aNumber\nCase Is < 0\nFunctionA\nCase 0 to 3\nFunctionB\nCase 4, 15, 32, 78\nFunctionC\nCase Else\nFunctionD\nEnd Select Just so nobody labours under the misapprehension that this was a VB "innovation" or anything... Pascal has had that since 197x! The ony difference being, the Pascal syntax is (as always) much cleaner and more elegant than VB's: Case AnInteger of\n -MAXINT .. -1 : ProcedureA;\n 0 .. 3 : ProcedureB;\n 4, 15, 32, 78 : ProcedureC;\n Else ProcedureD;\nEnd; {Case AnInteger} Behold the genius of Wirth in action: One construct, one keyword!

Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]

So I thought I would. We now return you to your regularly scheduled language war. Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance - Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.

In Pascal, Semi-Colons are your friends. :) [link\|http://pub75.ezboard.com/bantiiwethey\| New and improved, Chicken Delvits!]
