[erlang-questions] Inline If

[Henning Diedrich]

Thanks Zoltan,

so the answer would be

-define(ASSERT(TEST,TRUE,FALSE), case TEST of true -> TRUE; false -> 
FALSE end).

This seems to imply that even just wanting to use such construct is not 
a common thing in Erlang.

Is there a reason for that in the nature of FP or Erlang?

Thanks,
Henning
