I rarely end up doing that... but will if it's that easy. What I mean is
that I would more usually have:
foobool = isInRange(intvar);
And then I would have elsewhere:
BOOL isInRange(int i)
{
// code that manipulates i, possibly grabbing some system variables,
// such as the screen width, for example.
return i < 5;
}
Same effect on coding, as far as I'm concerned.
My two cents. :-)
