Post subject:  weird problem with if statement
y doesnt this work?
its supposed to check if a dot's colour is 1 or 44, and if its not 1 or 44 then draw a circle there

code:

if whatdotcolor (40, 40) not= (44 and 1) then
    drawfilloval (40, 40, 35, 35, 1)
end if

why do u have

if whatdotcolor (40, 40) not= (44 and 1) then

thats not how u use and. you need to do
code:
if whatdotcolor(x,y)not=color1 & whatdotcolor(x,y) not=color2 then

no idea im not turing

I don't think Turing understands that.

Hey, I'm just a noob Sad

code:

if whatdotcolour (x,y) = (colour1 and colour2) then
       % stuff
end if


wat does this mean if it doesnt mean...

code:

if whatdotcolour (x,y) = colour1 and whatdotcolour (x,y) = colour2 then
       % stuff
end if


i know its not an error because turing actually runs it

Turing is not like most other languages.

to compare a value to other values, you must use different statements.

code:

if x=1 or x=5 then
%stuff
end if


also, perhaps you may wish to rephrase that statement.

code:

if whatdotcolor(x,y)_ ~= color1 and whatdotcolor(x,y) ~= color2 then
% stuff
end if


What you have doesn't make sense to turing. you are comparing the value of (whatdotcolor(40,40)) to (44 and 1). NOT them individually, but together. -- Bad!

another way (if you want)--
code:

if whatdotcolor(40,40) = 44 or whatdotcolor(40,40) = 1 then
%its bad!
else
%its good!
end if



but that'll probably get you yelled at.

Try the folllowing code:
Turing:

put 44 and 1

Doing :

code:

put 44 and 100


Give me 36. Why is that?

natural numbers.

[big storybook lettering]I[/bsl]n turing, the and operator can compare two numbers bitwisely.

The result is the natural number that is the bit-wise and of the operands.

i.e.
[syntax=turing]
var number : nat := 16#ABCD %49381
var mask : nat := 16#FF % 255
put number and mask % Outputs 205 (CD16)
[/syntax]

...yeah...

y dont u jus

if whatdotcolor (x,y)not=44 or whatdotcolor(x,y)not=1 then
drawfilloval (x,y,r1,r2,colour)
end if
