Why doesn't "If INTCON.1 and intcon.4 Then" compil

If INTCON.1 and INTCON.4 Then

gives me a
Boolean expression expected. I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking.

Unlike C, Swordfish has true booleans, so a conditional expression (if, while etc) must be a boolean expression.

For example:

Code: Select all

if INTCON.Booleans(1) and...

or

Code: Select all

dim value as INTCON.1
if value and...

or

Code: Select all

if INTCON1 = 1 then

Thanks David, I thought I tried that but guess I didn't

Funny it doesn't automatically capitalize ".booleans(x)" with the current Si version.

PS fantastic compiler. I'll have to take a look at Firewing
