Thread: bool

or you could do

enum bool {false, true};

or you could get a new compiler.

lol bad day?

I cant get my compiler to accept bool types....any ideas what I can do about that?

hummmmm...................................

1. What compiler?

2. Do you wish to post your code?

lemme guess?
Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 DOS compiler or something compatible/similar?

if so, then just use a substitute: int
to save some memory, then: short unsigned int
even more memory efficient: char

then do something like this:
example:
int i = 1; // substitute for i = true
int i = 0; // substitute for i = false

you can also do this for char:
example:
char i = 'I'; // true
char i = 'O'; // false

that's a good substitute for boolean types if you want.

or in the Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 DOS library, use <limits.h>
the online help provided with the program will help you.
good luck!
