Hi there,

I've got a problem with a nested IF statement I'm trying to run in one of my programs and can't seem to make sense of the problem.

[/code]
if n(6,3)=0
if n(5,3)=0
if n(6,2)=1
if n(6,1)=1
n(6,1)=2
n(6,2)=2
endif
endif
endif
endif
[code]

What the code is supposed to do is check whether only values (6,1) and (6,2) are =1 and if they are then make them both =2. If (6,3) or (5,3) =1 then it should leave the (6,1) and (6,2) values as they are

The problem I'm getting is that if all of the values are generated as zero then its assigning both (6,1) and (6,2) as =2

Hopefully this isn't too confusing to read!

Any help / comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Also, any idea how to put the code in snippets? Lost all my fancy tab formatting in the example above!

Sorted it!

Not a problem with the nested if - changing (6,1) and (6,2) was influencing the code in the main loop and reporting a false result.

Cheers.

like this code?


blah


you start with the code in brackets not /code in brackets
you did this
[/code]
blah
[code]

remember the / means to close something, so it goes at the end.

Always line up the if and the endif. That way it's a lot easier to debug. Do the same for do/loop, for/next, and all other loops.
