Create comparative keyword?

Themerion	Is it possible to make comparative keywords in vJASS? More specifically, I want to do this: JASS: if (a xor b) then Instead of: JASS: if XOR(a,b) then

Anitarf	if (a and not b) or (b and not a) then

Themerion	That would be even uglier... (consider when a and b are larger expressions; would be rather redundant). Sorry for not being very clear on what I'm after... I guess it's not possible then?

If they are larger expressions, you could store them in local variables.

We call them "operators", and no, it isn't possible to create new jass operators :/

That would work. Although you would get two additional lines of code for declaring and two additional lines of code for assigning.

I guess it comes down to preference. To me, XOR is much easier to perceive than an expression with the logic behind it. I suppose to a total n00b, XOR would be more confusing...

Oh well, I'm just happy my wording was understandable.
