----------------------------------- DVL_IAC Sat Feb 12, 2005 11:38 pm Question in a question ----------------------------------- How would i ask a 2 answer question (like y or n) then if they said y it brings another y or n question.... its hard to explain what i mean... ex: var choice : string put "do you want to listen to music? (y or n)" get choice if choice = "y" then put "ok" delay (1000) var i : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("musicfile1") delay (10000) put "do you want to change songs (y or n)?" get choice if choice = "y" then put "changing..." delay (1000) var j : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("musicfile2") else put "kk" then here put if the answer was n to the first question what the program should do... how would i do that? :? I just started the grade 10 comp info sci course and were only like a week into it so i'm a complete turing n00b http://www.levels4you.com/graphics/smilies/tongue.gif ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Feb 12, 2005 11:48 pm ----------------------------------- you could build out [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=367]if - elsif - else structure. ----------------------------------- 1337_brad Sun Feb 13, 2005 12:21 am You could also use processes ----------------------------------- you could use a process so that the music starts playing, and it starts to ask the user if he wants to change songs... [/code] ----------------------------------- DVL_IAC Sun Feb 13, 2005 10:32 pm ----------------------------------- you could build out i clicked the link and read and im confused. http://www.levels4you.com/graphics/smilies/tongue.gif i put var choice : string put "do you want to listen to music? (y or n)" get choice if choice = "y" then put "ok" delay (1000) var i : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("PhobosAnomaly.mid") delay (10000) put "do you want to change songs (y or n)?" get choice if choice = "y" then put "changing..." delay (1000) var j : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("VictorEndofEpisode.mid") elsif choice = "n" then put "kk" else put "Fine then!" .. delay (1000) put "Be that way!" delay (10000) end if end if and when the person puts n as the answer to the first question the program just stops and doesnt say "Fine Then! Be that way!" http://www.levels4you.com/graphics/smilies/tongue.gif i'm guessing im not understanding the if - elsif - else thing right http://www.levels4you.com/graphics/smilies/tongue.gif ----------------------------------- cycro1234 Mon Feb 14, 2005 8:26 am ----------------------------------- You could also try declaring each choice as a variable at the beginning of ur program. So like: var choice1, choice2, choice3 : string Then using each on individually in ur program. This way the program remembers what the value of choice1 is, and so on. ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Feb 14, 2005 10:31 am ----------------------------------- i'm guessing im not understanding the if - elsif - else thing right it understands it alright - computers don't make mistakes. You just wrote it down wrong :lol: Use F2 to indent your code and take a look at your structure closely. Try to follow it through in your head. ----------------------------------- DVL_IAC Mon Feb 14, 2005 5:30 pm ----------------------------------- You could also try declaring each choice as a variable at the beginning of ur program. So like: var choice1, choice2, choice3 : string Then using each on individually in ur program. This way the program remembers what the value of choice1 is, and so on. hmm like this var choice1, choice2 : string put "do you want to listen to music? (y or n)" get choice1 if choice1 = "y" then put "ok" delay (1000) var i : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("PhobosAnomaly.mid") delay (10000) put "do you want to change songs (y or n)?" get choice2 if choice2 = "y" then put "changing..." delay (1000) var j : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("VictorEndofEpisode.mid") elsif choice2 = "n" then put "kk" elsif choice1 = "n" then put "Fine then!" .. delay (1000) put "Be that way!" delay (10000) end if end if ? or like this var choice1, choice2 : string put "do you want to listen to music? (y or n)" get choice1 if choice1 = "y" then put "ok" delay (1000) var i : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("PhobosAnomaly.mid") delay (10000) put "do you want to change songs (y or n)?" get choice2 if choice2 = "y" then put "changing..." delay (1000) var j : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("VictorEndofEpisode.mid") if choice2 = "n" then put "kk" if choice1 = "n" then put "Fine then!" .. delay (1000) put "Be that way!" delay (10000) end if end if end if end if ? hmm both ways it still finishes the program when you put n as the answer to the first question. Use F2 to indent your code and take a look at your structure closely. Try to follow it through in your head. I did and it seams fine to me... :? ----------------------------------- Bacchus Mon Feb 14, 2005 5:39 pm ----------------------------------- put one end if right after the if chioce2="n" then kk thing and remove one at the end right now ur checking to see if chioce1 in "n" in the check to see if chioce1="y" ----------------------------------- DVL_IAC Tue Feb 15, 2005 6:20 pm ----------------------------------- ok i got it to continue when you push n on the first question.. :) var choice1 : string var choice2 : string put "do you want to listen to music? (y or n)" get choice1 if choice1 = "y" then put "ok" delay (1000) var i : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("shortfile1.wav") end if delay (7000) put "do you want to change songs (y or n)?" get choice2 if choice2 = "y" then put "changing..." delay (1000) var j : int := 0 Music.PlayFileLoop ("shortfile2.wav") elsif choice2 = "n" then put "kk" end if if choice1 = "n" then put "Fine then! " .. delay (1000) put "Be that way!" end if but when you answer n to the first question it goes on and asks you if you want to change the song which it only should do if you answer y to the first question... how can i get it so if u answer n to the first question it skips the do you want to change songs question and goes right to "Fine Then! Be that way!" ??? :? ----------------------------------- ssr Tue Feb 15, 2005 9:17 pm ----------------------------------- use elsif instead of :D ifor put the ifs inside another if I think thats called nested ifs lol :D gl :D ----------------------------------- ssr Tue Feb 15, 2005 9:21 pm ----------------------------------- var choice1 : string var choice2 : string put "do you want to listen to music?
