Type Casting Functions

[Chris B]

Hey, type casting in JASS seems easy when called via functions, if it's not one of the few supported through premade functions, such as I2S. I've been wondering though if there's a function available premade for converting an integer to a boolean. If not, I'll just create a function, it just seems unnecessary if it already exists.

FWIW:

function I2B takes integer i returns boolean
    return i > 0 (optionally i != 0)
endfunction

Technically though, that's not type casting.

Alright thanks AceHart, that's all I knew about and wasn't sure if there was an alternative. It's close enough, Blizzard put that functionality there for a reason The only thing is, can't converting ints to bools like that cause unkown results sometimes (at least in other languages), or is it a safe bet with JASS that you'll get what you asked for?

You always get what you ask for. Whether that's safe though...
