Multiple If's

[Namis]

Heres my code ;o

code:

put " Would you like some music while you answer my 20 questions? <Yes> or <No> " if yes = "yes" or yes = "Yes" or yes = "YES" or yes = "YeS" or yes = "yES" or yes = "YEs" or yes = "yeS" or yes = "yEs"         then     put " Cool! Which band would you like to listen to? "     delay (2000)     put " <tool> or <malicemizer> or <aperfectcircle> "     get music     if music = "tool" or music = "Tool" or music = "TOOL" or music = "ToOl" or music = "TOol" or music = "tOOl" or music = "TOOl" or music = "ToOL"             then         put " Great Choice, Tool - Schism, will now play "         delay (1000)     %testing Music.PlayFile ("C:\\Documents and Settings\Andrew\Desktop\Music\Tool\Lateralus.mp3") end if

now for the other bands, ( and more songs after i figure out how this works ) do i keep it all under 1 if statement? or do i use multiple if statements? or do i j ust change the command line to

if music = "malicemizer" or
if music = "aperfectcircle" etc?
Something like this?
tool/malicemizer/aperfectcircle being different bands.

come on, there's a tutorial on elsif's right here

I know you know its there because you even replied to that some time ago.

Anyways, you need to make your program more organized. There're way to many ifs inside other ifs.

Also you should use a function that changes string to all caps (or all small) so that you dont write out two lines of possible input. Someone already wrote it, was probly even a re to one of your previous topics.

Yeah im a retard, stab me in the face.

and if you think that is unorganized you should see the rest of my code, i get lost just looking at it

even tho there are lots of ifs...some times...u hafta put some ifs inside others...especially in games. You must write the code for every single possiblilty (which is sometimes an ass)

man... you would be so better off writing some function to compare whether some variable is equal (case insensitive) to some word...

something like this...

code:

function wordsEqual (input, actualString : string) : boolean     if length (input) not= length (actualString) then         result false     end if     for i : 1 .. length (input)         if ord (actualString (i)) >= 65 and ord (actualString (i)) <= 90 then             if ord (input (i)) not= ord (actualString (i)) and                     ord (input (i)) not= ord (actualString (i)) + 32 then                 result false             end if         elsif ord (actualString (i)) >= 97 and ord (actualString (i)) <= 122                 then             if ord (input (i)) not= ord (actualString (i)) and                     ord (input (i)) not= ord (actualString (i)) - 32 then                 result false             end if         else             if ord (input (i)) not= ord (actualString (i)) then                 result false             end if         end if     end for     result true end wordsEqual

then use it like this...

if wordsEqual (someInput, "yes") = true then
do whatever it is you do if they entered yes
end if
