example using boolean

[lezawang]

Hi
I understand how boolean variables work. However, I am looking for a simple code that use boolean to understand it better or to see how it is used really. I created the code below but to me that does not make a lot of sense, I have seen this example on the net.

Sub myboolean()
    Dim result As Boolean
    Dim x As Integer
    x = InputBox("enter number")
    result = x > 50
    MsgBox result
End Sub

(x > 50) is a condition. It's either TRUE or FALSE. So your line that says:

result = x > 50

is essentially a shortcut way of saying this:

If x > 50 Then
    result = TRUE
Else
    result = FALSE
EndIf

Or perhaps another way to look at it:

If x > 50 Then
   ..do something..
Endif

If TRUE Then
    ..do something..
Endif

Both of those If's will do the same thing (if x >50), so therefore the x > 50 and TRUE are equivalent. Does this make any more sense?
