What Is This? > bool isClickInCell = hti.Column == this._columnNum && hti.Row > -1;

[Steven C.]

I'm trying to learn C#, and I came across the following:


bool isClickInCell = hti.Column == this._columnNum && hti.Row > -1;

What exactly is going on here?

As a Foxpro dude, this totally confounds me

Thanks!

It's a poorly parenthesized block that would be a bit more readable as:

bool isClickInCell = ((hti.Column == this._columnNum) && (hti.Row > -1));

or more so as an if block ala:

bool isClickInCell;
if((hti.Column == this._columnNum) && (hti.Row > -1))
{
isClickInCell = true;
}
else
{
isClickInCell = false;
}

In short... it’s determining if the desired column was hit, and having the
output of this logical operation (true or false) be returned and stored in
isClickInCell.

Is that a little more clear?

The equivalent code in longhand:

bool isClickInCell;
if (hti.Column == this._columnNum)
{
if (hti.Row > -1)
{
isClickInCell = true;
}
else
{
isClickInCell = false;
}
}
else
{
isClickInCell = false;
}

Thanks!
This helps. C# definitely aint Foxpro!

Thanks again;
