Re: Quick question on readability

Chris,

The similar technique (also mentioned in this thread):

Ind = not Ind;

does exactly the same thing. I don't know whether it's any 'clearer' or not.
My preference is that if you're ever going to set an indicator to the result
of an expression, it's 'better' (read 'clearer', in my mind) to put the
expression in parentheses, e.g.

Ind = ( Fld1 = Fld2 );

rather than:

Ind = Fld1 = Fld2;

That (consistency) is why I tend to use:

Ind = ( Ind = *off );

rather than

Ind = not Ind;
