[Gambas-user] stupid question about INC and boolean

[Stephen Bungay]

   Simply "NOT'ing the boolean accomplishes the same thing...

Dim X as Integer
Dim B as Boolean

For X = 0 to 10
     B = Not B
Next

   INC or DEC are not logical operators. Just because they can be used 
on boolean values the question is should they be used, does it make for 
better code clarity?
