Ok it doesn't do what I thought that I told it to do for some reason it is ignoring the if statement and and I don't think that I told the programme to do that

There are 8 "if" statements in the code. Which one(s) are you meaning? What kinds of things have you done to try to isolate the problem? What is the expected and actual results you get and with what input? These are just a few basic questions that would help some of us as well as show good faith that you do try to figure out your own problems as this is one of the big pillars of programming to my mind: Being able to fix mistakes in your own software.

So....it worked perfectly for me, (in)correct answers were dealt with appropriately, indicating success or failure, or invalid input where appropriate. Not really sure what the problem is at all, it didn't skip a single if statement when I ran it. Just for whatever sort of reference it might be worth, I'm running V4.0.3 ~Wolf_Destiny

it is ignoring the "if" statement for this line if independent1= "D" or independent1= "d" then put "Curiosity killed the cat" delay (200) put "WRONG ANSWER ", name1 elsif independent1= "A" or independent1= "a" or independent1= "B" or independent1= "b" or independent1= "C" or independent1= "c" then put "that is correct ", name1 else put "not even an answer" end if what am I doing wrong
