[Reply #60 on:]

True or false is different from HIGH or LOW right ?

i

Code:

f (variable==true)
{
 Do this
}

if (variable == false)
{
Do that
}

if (variable == HIGH)
{
Do this
}

if (variable ==LOW)
{ Do that}

Correct me if I am wrong

Yes.

The if(variable == true) test is silly. If variable is true, the test evaluates to true == true, which is true. So, the initial test could simply have been if(variable). That is the convention for testing boolean variables. To do something when the variable contains false, you use if(!variable) (if not true).

For non-boolean variables, the 3rd and 4th examples are correct.

what's the difference between boolean variable and non-boolean ? AND OR ?

One is a boolean variable. The other is not. It might be an int, a float, a double, a long, a char, a byte, a long long, etc.

Ok. I think is like this

Code:

If (x>y)

--> this is example of boolean variable which will return either true or false.

Code:

If (variable==HIGH)

--> This is non boolean variable..

Am I correct ?

Thanks

No, that is an example of two int (I'm assuming) values being compared. Comparing boolean variables using > doesn't make sense.

--> This is non boolean variable..

The statement itself does not provide enough information to answer the question. What is the type of variable? That is what determines how to write the statement. It doesn't make sense to compare a boolean variable (containing true or false) to HIGH or LOW. So, it appears that the statement does not involve a boolean variable.

Can you give me some simple example to illustrate that ?

Thanks

Can you learn to ask better questions? To illustrate what?

Illustrate the difference between boolean variable and non-boolean variable

Illustrate the difference between boolean variable and non-boolean variable

Code:

boolean dense = false;
if(!dense)
{
   byte IQ = 14;
   byte min = 100;
   if(IQ > min)
   {
      // Smart enough
   }
   else
      dense = true;
}
