Print Using?

For those that are not sure how it works.

Code: (Select All)

tmp = Chr$((48 * -(m <= 9)) + (35 * -(m > 9))) + "#:" + Chr$((48 * -(s <= 9)) + (35 * -(s > 9))) + "#"

The minutes and seconds are essentially the same. So, I'll only explain the Boolean algebra portion.

Code: (Select All)

Chr$(48 * -(m <= 9)) + (35 * -(m > 9))

m <= 9 and m > 9 are mutually exclusive comparisons, that will return a 0 or a -1 and a -1 or 0, respectively .

Code: (Select All)

Chr$((48 * -(-1)) + (35 * -(0)))
or
Chr$((48 * -(0)) + (35 * -(-1)))

The negative outside the parenthesis flips the the sign to positive.

Code: (Select All)

Chr$((48 * 1) + (35 * 0))
or
Chr$((48 * 0) + (35 * 1))

48 is the ASCII character for '0' and 35 is the ASCII character for '#'
So, depending on the value of 'm' being greater or less than 9, you will get the value 48 or 35

Code: (Select All)

Chr$(48) '0
or
Chr$(35) '#

And you plug that into your string.
