True or False

[bogdandaniel]

Dim result As Boolean

result = result = False

 

What is this?

now the result is true!!

[Tryster]

You are assigning the return value of the expression "result = False" to the variable result...

 

When you declare the variable result, it is set to False by default. As such the expression "result = False" evaluates to True...

Tryster's correct, the = operator is being used two different ways. The

first way, it's used as an assignment operator, assigning the

value of an expression to the variable. The seond time it's a

comparison operator, comparing the value of result (which is False

by default) to False, and because they are equal it returns True.

 

Maybe this is clearer:

result = (result = False)

 

It's much easier to see a C-style language, beause its equality

comparison operator is ==

result = result == false;
