How to switch condition position?
Is it possible to switch the condition to the end:
from this:
If (condition) Then Result := True;
into something like this:
Result := True if (condition);
Or similar variation, where result is shown first.
I know that Case works like that, but I need it to work on string values.
When visually looking at the statement, sometimes the Result value has a 'priority' over condition - my personal preference.
No one will switch to complete circuit evaluation. There is a rare case when it makes sense to use it.
function DoSomething(): Boolean;
begin
// ...
Result := (not HasError) and DumpStatus();
end;
DumpStatus is a function that will dump the status whether there was an error or not.
If error exists, DumpStatus will dump the error status. If not it will dump a success status.
DoSomething's result depends on HasError. So it's important to do a full evaluation of the expression "(not HasError) and DumpStatus()".
