This error message is given whenever an operator cannot be applied to the operands it was given - for instance if a boolean operator is applied to a pointer.
program Produce; var P: ^Integer; begin if P and P^ > 0 then Writeln('P points to a number greater 0'); end.
Here a C++ programmer was unclear about operator precedence in Delphi - P is not a boolean expression, and the comparison needs to be parenthesized.
program Solve; var P: ^Integer; begin if (P <> nil) and (P^ > 0) then Writeln('P points to a number greater 0'); end.
If we explicitly compare P to nil and use parentheses, the compiler is happy.
