[Gambas-user] strange problem with NOT

[Jean-Francois Perreault]

Hi,

I found this "problem" with NOT , I'm pretty sure VB doesn't behave this 
way

for this code

DIM X as Integer

x = 1
PRINT "X is 1"
IF x = 0 THEN PRINT "x = 0 returned TRUE"
IF NOT x = 0 THEN PRINT "NOT x = 0 returned true"
IF NOT (x = 0) THEN PRINT "NOT (x = 0) returned true"

x = 0
PRINT "X is 0"
IF x = 0 THEN PRINT "x = 0 returned TRUE"
IF NOT x = 0 THEN PRINT "NOT x = 0 returned true"
IF NOT (x = 0) THEN PRINT "NOT (x = 0) returned true"

if you run this you'll get the surprising output

X is 1
NOT (x = 0) returned true
X is 0
x = 0 returned true


it's as if NOT was a function NOT() and not a logic keyword !

I'm pretty sure vb would have turned both

NOT x = 0 returned true
NOT (x = 0) returned true

(that is if VB had a PRINT function ;) )
I don't have vb installed right now so I can't test , but that
behavior sure puzzled me in the form of a bug in my program !!!
