Logic in equations would be Rather Nice

[dmstraker]

It would be good if you could use logical operations in equations. Yes, there's the bitwise 'and', 'or', etc. But I was thinking rather of an 'if..then' structure. Either do it with if..then, or with true/false (1/0).

eg. (1=1)*5 = 5, but (1=2)*5 = 0.

Many thanks for your kind considerations,

Well I would rather like to see a general scripting support (which would offer all that and also give much more possibilities then), than crippling such things into equations.

I would support simple logical expressions. You can emulate them with the current set. For example, to test for equality:

EQ(A,B) = floor((min(A,B)/max(A,B))

This gives 0 if A<>B and 1 if A=B, but only if both are positive or both negative.

It works, but is hardly elegant!
