Variable and Operator

  Hi,

   

  Is it possible to use a variable to return an operator (or also a string).  Example of part of code below:

  IF opVar = 1 THEN myOperator = > ELSIF opVar = 2 THEN myOperator = < ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  IF opVar = 1 THEN myOperator = > ELSIF opVar = 2 THEN myOperator = <   ENDIF

  For this opVAR would be a variable set in ‘Variable optimization’ and myOperator could be used elsewhere in the code where I wanted to check different results based on less than or greater than.

  Thanks

  Hi Paul
  Great question – math operators can’t be used as variables.

  You could try and code the conditions to +1 or -1 from the myoperator variable based on prior conditions and take it from there. If that makes sense.

  Cheers
