Description

Allows creation of variables to be used in conditional compilation statements.

Syntax

@set @varname [= term]

The @set statement syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
varname	Valid JScript variable name. Must be preceded by an "@" character at all times.
term	Zero or more unary operators followed by either a constant, conditional compilation variable, or parenthesized expression.

Remarks

Numeric and Boolean variables are supported for conditional compilation. Strings are not.

Examples of variable declarations look like this:

@set @myvar1 = 12
@set @myvar2 = (@myvar1 * 20)
@set @myvar3 = @_jscript_version

The following operators are supported in parenthesized expressions:

• ! ~
• * / %
• + -
• << >> >>>
• < <= > >=
• == != === !==
• & ^ |
• && ||

If a variable is used before it has been defined, its value is NaN. NaN can be checked for using the @if statement:

@if (@newVar != @newVar)
  ...

This works because NaN is the only value not equal to itself.
