Question

I am trying to convert a C++ program to C#. I came across a line of statement as below.

int X;
int P = 10;
int Q = 5;

X = P < Q;

It make sense to me if X is a bool value. However X is an integer. I am wondering what the output of X would be. It might be a very basic syntax in C++. Sorry for my ignorance. I am after an equivalent statement in C#. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

In C# the assignment would not be permitted, because (as you guessed) the expression P < Q would be of the type bool. This C# code would be roughly equivalent:

int X;
int P = 10;
int Q = 5;

X = (P < Q) ? 1 : 0;
