RE: [Dev-C++] Some help on BOOL

Hi!
AFAIK Ioannis is completely right (as always).  But what you should know is 
that you can convert BOOLs to chars or whatever numerical type and actually 
calculate with it :)
(int)false should be '0', (int)true should be '1'.  So you could write 
stuff like

if (mybool) a+=b;

equals

a+= (int)mybool * b;

... should be as it is in Basic ...
