function choose(expr, [x], [y])
-- x and y are functions that must be called to get their value.
if expr return x() else return y() end
end
That's what I was thinking... Feeling stupid, don't know what got into me to think it wouldn't work just like that.
I think this is not a good feature since it is not clear to the
caller whether the expressions will be both evaluated or not. Michal
Kottman already provided a better example:
z = choose(y~=0, [x/y], [0]) IMO this is more clear than z = choose(y~=0, || x/y, || 0)
But would it conflict with the array indexing operator i.e the brackets in "myarray[5]"? Eric
