Which PicBasic Software To Use?

[p.erasmus]

sorry wrong info

 

[richardb]

so the compiler treats an sbit the same as a Boolean?
no need to do
while dooropen = 1 ?

 

[p.erasmus]

dim DoorStatus as byte
dim DoorOpen as sbit at DoorStatus B0
dim DoorClose as sbit at DoorStatus B1

while DoorOpen// this could also be a funtion that return a bit value 0 or 1 (True or False)

do stuff
wend

If(DoorClose)

do stuff
end if

it all upto the programmer not tthe Bolean data type MBP supports as any language bits,bitfields and structure which can be used in any function as argument or parameter.

you can use sbit types and True or false values

If(DoorClose)
doesn't DoorClose still need to be a Boolean for the if statement to compile?
