Hi Lewis,

If that works, also try the expression "!!A" which is more efficient than 
using ?: anyway.  In general I never assume that a true value is 1, it's 
better to check for non-zero, so use "A!=0?1:0" or just "A?1:0".

However I admit I would be very surprised if the integer to double conversion 
is not exact for the value 1.
