Does VBA Have a Ternary Operator?

Question

I come from the beautiful world of Obj C, which is based on the C programming language, and I\'ve fallen in love with finding quirky ways to save space. However, I\'ve looke

Answer 1

the closest function is IIf()

IIf(expr, truepart, falsepart)

but:

• you can't have its branches simply running code, while you have to assign its return value to some variable,

• it doesn't short-circuit,

  it always evaluates both branches so that should one of them fail, even if not the "real" one, the statement would throw an error anyway.

So the most resembling statement is:

If boolVar Then sub1 Else sub2 

where:

• boolVar is a boolean type variable,

• sub1 and sub2 are two different subs/functions to be called.
