Hi fellow forumers,
I'm a noob (Got pro yesterday). I can enter text and all the really basic things but I can't undderstand the If/Else stuff. Whenever I try to debug it it says "Can not close net at line 14"
Can anyone help, the manual's making me want to smash things.

Thanks, Professor Bob

im gonna guess you didnt put endif at the end but if you put some code up the stuff you think is causing the problem it is easier to figure out.

to do if els statment you have to do the following

if condition
(do something)
else
(do something)
endif

or it can be done
if condition then (do something)

Any spelling mistakes are totally In tensional.

also if you have more than one so for example:

+ Code Snippet

if condition
if condition

(do something)

endif
endif - you need to close both

unless you do this:

+ Code Snippet

if (condition) and (condition)

(do something)

endif -you only need the one

So basicaly you need a ENDIF to every IF unless you use THEN

Sorry to keep whingeing.....

Look at this

+ Code Snippet

Print "hello"
input "what is your name? ",Name$
Print "hello " + Name$
input "what is your age? ",age#
age2=age#+3000
print "in 3000 years you will be " + str$(age2) + " years old."
question:
print "What type of ice cream do you like most: vanilla, chocolate or strawberry?"
input type$
if type$= "vanilla"
print "Me too"
endif
if type$= "chocolate"
print "Fair enough"
endif
if type$= "strawberry"
print "Well as long as I don't have to eat it....."
endif
wait key

. What do I do if they put something else in (like Michael Jackson)? Do I use else? If so where do I put it?

+ Code Snippet

do
Print "hello"
input "what is your name? ",Name$
  mj$="micheal jackson"
   if Name$=mj$
    `(what you want it to do)
    `example
    Print "Go straight to jail dont collect £200"
  Else
Print "hello " + Name$
endif
input "what is your age? ",age#
age2=age#+3000
print "in 3000 years you will be " + str$(age2) + " years old."
question:
print "What type of ice cream do you like most: vanilla, chocolate or strawberry?"
input type$
if type$= "vanilla"
print "Me too"
endif
if type$= "chocolate"
print "Fair enough"
endif
if type$= "strawberry"
print "Well as long as I don't have to eat it....."
endif
loop

there is a better way to hold the information to the mj$ variable so it will pick up both lower and upper case letters but ill let you play with that, basically its put into a loops so when it comes to the IF and Else statement it can loop to ruturn

I've got that bit but I'd like it to only loop until strawberry, vanilla or chocolate is entered.

+ Code Snippet

do
print "What type of ice cream do you like most: vanilla, chocolate or strawberry?"
input type$
if type$= "vanilla"
print "Me too"
endif
if type$= "chocolate"
print "Fair enough"
endif
if type$= "strawberry"
print "Well as long as I don't have to eat it....."
endif
loop

Do I use until comme sa

+ Code Snippet

do
print "What type of ice cream do you like most: vanilla, chocolate or strawberry?"
input type$
if type$= "vanilla"
print "Me too"
endif
if type$= "chocolate"
print "Fair enough"
endif
if type$= "strawberry"
print "Well as long as I don't have to eat it....."
endif
loop
until type$= "vanilla"; "chocolate"; "strawberry"

And another thing, how do you make it do 2 things at once? Do you use Then?

Thanks:

to break from the loop just use the "EXIT" command after each argument

+ Code Snippet

if (condition)
    *do something- your code here*
exit
endif

the "THEN" command is used in an argument (when you use IF for example). You use THEN instead of "Endif". If you only want to carry out one action then you write your code as:

+ Code Snippet

IF (condition) THEN *do something-your code here*

to make it do two things at once you just need the following

+ Code Snippet

IF (condition)
*do something-your code here (first instruction)*
*do something-your code here (second instruction)*
ENDIF

you can have as many actions as needed and then will be run at the same time (in real time this isnt true it will execute one instruction and then another after that but it does this so quickly it seems to do both at once)

hope this helps
