Reciprocal of "depends on"

I’m sure Chessic’s intent was to give you an accurate answer to your specific question, while I gave my opinion on a more general matter. I’m glad that you realize the nature of the problem though. I’ve had too much experience in deciphering the intended meaning of relationships and other nuanced concepts as expressed in natural language. Brevity may be the soul of wit, but it can be the heart of misunderstanding as well.

The equivalent construct for “A depends on B” (as in OP) would be “B is depended on by A.”

“B is dependent on A” means the opposite of that, and the same as “B depends on A.”

Slaps forehead… Never code drunk, kids :slight_smile:

Yep: :smack:
