AS3 snippet #4: Returning Booleans
When returning a Boolean you can do the validation inside the return statement. Usually I would do something like this:
function doTest():Boolean
{
var returnValue:Boolean = false;
if (someValue > otherValue) { returnValue = true; }
return returnValue;
}
Instead, you could shorten it down to only one line of code like this:
function doTest():Boolean
{
return (someValue > otherValue);
}
doTest will return true if someValue is greater than otherValue. Pretty neat huh?
