<h2>Treating Variables as Booleans</h2>
<HR>
<P>
You can treat all variables as boolean values... that is, you can say:
</P>
<P>
<pre>if (myVariable)</pre>
</P>
<P>
...no matter what data type is actually in the variable. Here's how they're all treated.
</P>
<P>
<B>Undefined:</B>
</P>
<P>
Always equates to FALSE..
</P>
<P>
<B>Numbers:</B>
</P>
<P>
Equates to FALSE if it contains the value 0; TRUE for everything else.
</P>
<P>
<B>Strings:</B>
</P>
<P>
Always equates to TRUE.
</P>
<P>
<B>File handles:</B>
</P>
<P>
Always equates to TRUE.
</P>
<P>
<B>Object types:</B>
</P>
<P>

</P>
<P>
<B>Stacks:</B>
</P>
<P>
Equates to FALSE if the stack is empty; TRUE for everything else.
</P>
<P>
<B>Function handles:</B>
</P>
<P>
