That code does not work and I just want to know how i can make it work . Pretty much my question is how can I code something like
if x = 1 or 2 then print "hello"

You have to write the comparison in full each time.

Also, you need AND, not OR. It will always be not 1 or 2 or 3 (because it can only ever be one of them, it can't be all of them). This is a common error, even for old professionals!
The rule is that a NOT ( <> ) switches the ORs to ANDs.

Thanks man, helped a lot

In Addition: When dealing with user input, if the user enters some text like a name, then it's generally best that our programs force the case of the input to either lower or upper before making the required comparisons.


ie.
if InputName$="Bill"
print "Hello Bill"
endif

This code would only function as we expect, when the user enters Bill with a capital B, it'd fail in every other combination.

where as forcing it to lower and comparing the text with the lower case literal of "bill" this time, would catch all the combinations of BILL that are possible.

if lower$(InputName$)="bill"
print "Hello Bill"
endif

if you need to do a bunch of string compares then it's generally worth create a temp string and comparing everything to that.

LowerCase_InputName$ =lower$(InputName$)

if LowerCase_InputName$="bill"
print "Hello Bill"
endif

if LowerCase_InputName$="dude"
print "Hello Dude"
endif
