    logical operators as variables?

    piepie Member
    edited October 2015 in General questions
    Hi, do you know if it's possible to set logical operators as variables like in:
     
local a = 2
local b = 5
 
local operator = "<"
 
if a operator b then
	print("working")
end
    Thank you :)

      unfortunately I think there is no way, you would need to create a function which checks for all possible operators you need and performs needed operation, like
      function operator(op, a, b)
   if op == "==" then
      return a == b
   elseif op == ">" then
      return a > b
   --etc
   end
end

      It might be possible with the new Macros extension, but until we have a proper go with it then I don't know for sure.

      I would have used functions to wrap operators:
      local function operatorLT(a,b) return a<b end
 
local a = 2
local b = 5
local operator=operatorLT
 
if operator(a,b) then
 print("working")
end
