Question

Is it possible to write your own conditional statements or overload current ones? (Like the if short hand – ?)

I have done some research and can’t find anything. Something I have in mind:

do
{
   //Run Application
}if(...)//Only If variables are initialised

If this is possible, how would I go about doing so in c++?

Answer 1

do
{
   //Run Application
}if(...)//Only If variables are initialised

would translate to

if ( condition )
{
   //run application
}

So why not just do that?

It’s not possible to create new operators, and it’s not possible to overload the ternary operator ?:.

You could mess around with the preprocessor, but you’ll end up having less clear code than just using a regular if.

#define RUNIF(condition, statement) \
if ( condition ) \
{                \
   statement();  \
}

and call it like:

RUNIF(condition, RunApplication())

but personally, I’d hate to see this in production code.
