Passing bool as an expression

[therod]

I have some MT4 code I am converting to C++ and I have run into a problem with passing a bool expression to the function. The MQL function is:

bool iifBool( bool condition, bool ifTrue, bool ifFalse)
{
if( condition ) return ( ifTrue );
else return( ifFalse );
}

It compiles with a Borland compilera without error but always evaluates to ifFalse. It looks like my 'condition' parameter is not being passed in C++ as it is in MQL.

An example of how I would use it is...

Print( iifBool(a>=b, True, False) );

Any idea how I pass the expression "a>=b" to the function in C++ as I did in MQL?

True and False need not be capitalized. Just saying.

And that code should work otherwise.

I'm not sure your code is doing what you think...
You cannot defer evaluation of an expression in C++ outside of the language defined flow control constructs.

In C++, you would do something like:

cout << ((a >= b) ? "true" : "false") << endl;
cout << (a() ? b() : c( x - 2 )) << endl;
...

Hope this helps.
