Not only that, but the implementation of your function makes readability extremely difficult as well. Hi JeffH,

Along the lines of (tested for basic cases, but obviously not foolprofed): function ternary( boolVal, trueVal, falseVal ) if ( boolVal ) then ternary = trueVal else ternary = falseVal end if end function strResult = ternary((theVal="0" or theVal="-1"),"zero or neg 1", "positive") my 2 cents.

function ternary( boolVal, trueVal, falseVal )
if ( boolVal ) then
ternary = trueVal
else
ternary = falseVal
end if
end function

strResult = ternary((theVal=”0″ or theVal=”-1″),”zero or neg 1″, “positive”)
