Use of Period In Conditional?

This is a basic question, but I'm hoping someone can help decipher this line of code for me. I can't find a reference anywhere to what the period in this statement does. I assume by the setup that it is some sort of conditional, but would appreciate any further info. Is it Keil specific?

Counter[CounterInstance].Output = FALSE

  • I was unable to find this syntax in TWO different C books

    That's a symptom of attacking the problem from entirely the wrong direction.

    You can't seriously expect to understand a completely new language by "finding" individual aspects in a textbook. You have to actually learn the language, and still has to be done by working through a textbook, from cover to cover, not by jumping all over the place with a somewhat involved code example in hand.

    Once you have got the general picture, you can go back to picking up individual aspects out of the book as you need them, but you absolutely need that general picture first.
