cbool ( expression and value)

Question

User-2082385491 posted

Hi All,

I have an asp page which contain the following code

myvar = Cbool(id and 2048)

I don't understand what does it mean.

It's taking the bitwise 'and' of 'id' and 2048 - the result is an integer.  It then converts that to a boolean via 'CBool'.  This is terrible code - why convert an integer to a boolean?  Only the integer '0' will convert to the boolean value 'True' - all others will convert to 'False'.  Totally idiotic code.

It would have been far clearer to code "myvar = (id And 20048) = 0" than this crap.

Hi nirmal2014,

Thanks for your post.

cbool ( expression and value)

this should be VBScript.

The CBool function converts an expression to type Boolean.The expression must be a numeric value.

please check this:http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_cbool.asp

Hope this can be helpful.

Best Regards,
