Both variants will work. The variant with "b: Boolean" was originally 
introduced for the non-Object-Pascal modes (fpc, tp), because there you 
only have the name of the procedure/function as a result variable and as 
operators don't have names (in that sense) you can specify the name of 
the result variable. It works in the Object Pascal modes (delphi, 
objfpc) however as well.
