IF... IF... IF... ELSE... not working

[rbleskow999]

Can somebody tell me why this code is screwing up?...
(I will use underscores to format it)

function whatever() {
___if SP = 1 {
______if (t=='*') {
_________do this;
_________do that;
_________etc...
______}
______if (t=='^') {
_________do this;
_________do that;
_________etc...
______}
___}
___else {
______do this;
______do that;
______etc...
___}
}

Prolly because all of those stupid underscores...
That and you're missing an else/if amongst your psuedo conditionals...

BTW: Get rid of the underscores and use [code] -CODE HERE- [/code] tags when posting code...

[rbleskow999]

you should READ what I wrote...

P R O B L E M . . . S O L V E D ! ! !

I needed brackets around the: SP = 1

simple oversight.

Those would be: parenthesis....
I noticed that but what am I to know from poorly formatted psuedo code...

Glad to hear you got it fixed...
But please remember, we work best with absolutes...

Jeez, give him a break. He's probably British or something, or just unfamiliar with programming terminology.

SHUT UP STUPID...

Whatever remarks I made had to do with his adding underscores for foramtting...

Step off your "I'm L33T" and kiss my a$$...

Excuse me? Are British people thick? Do British people not know programming terminology? God you people make me sick.

You probably need to change the line: if SP = 1 {

to if(SP == 1) {

the if statement if(SP=1) does not actually test SP against the value on the right hand side ("1"). The if statement can be translated as:

if 1 can be assigned to SP then...

The line if(SP == 1) can be translated as:

if SP is equal to 1 then ...

Thanks Scriptage for your "positive" input.
Bye the way, the calculations work when I use "=", and they don't work when I use "==". go figure...

I'm sure that willy guy has a chip on his shoulder (that he knows about, but he ignores it). It's a superiority complex. We'll just have to live with it.
Even Albert Einstein didn't know what Babe Ruth's batting average was....
Let's all try to relax, shall we?

By the way willy: (brackets == parenthesis) on THIS planet, too.

Actually you don't have to live with it. He's banned.

WOW!... That was quick!

I didn't mean any of those things at all. All I was saying is that I'm pretty sure they call parentheses "brackets" in Britain (am I wrong?), and that if he's new to programming he might not know that that's what you're supposed to call them.

By the way willy: (brackets == parenthesis) on THIS planet, too.

Not technically correct. This is like the square/rectangle thing -- a square is always a rectangle, but a rectangle is not necessarily a square.

One kind of bracket is the parenthesis, but since there are multiple kinds of brackets, they are not necessarily the same.

Types of brackets:

• () parenthesis
• [] square brackets
• <> angle brackets
• {} (curly) braces

I would appreciate it if you would refer to "(" and ")" as parenthesis to avoid confusion.
