Need help on a single line of code

[blankout]

for some reason i cannot run my program if i input "no" into the first field. if i put "yes" it works fine but i can't seem to get it to work with "no" here's my code:

Turing:

var answer : string var serve : string var gender : string var lastname : string locate (12, 22) put "My name is Jeeves. I am your personal butler" delay (2000) cls locate (12, 30) put "Can I ask you a few questions?" locate (13, 39) get answer cls if answer = "yes"         then     put "what is your lastname?"     get lastname     cls     put "What is your gender?"     get gender     cls     if gender = "male"             then         put "Hello Mr. ", lastname         put "how may I be of service?"         get serve         put "yes, Sir, right away Sir, i will get ", serve         put "at once"     end if     if gender = "female"             then         put "Hello Mrs. ", lastname         put "how may I be of service?"         get serve         put "yes, Madam, right away Madam, i will get ", serve         put "at once"     end if if answer = "no"             then         put "Why not? Do you not want to have your own personal butler?"     end if end if

Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags! Thanks

code:

[syntax="turing"]Code Here[/syntax]

Because your if statement to check if they said no is inside the if statement to check if they said yes.

EDIT: it helps to press F2 while in turing it will show the if statements as indents and you can see where you problem is

ok great thanks, now if i were trying to do something like if answer does not equal yes or no, how would i do that?

[BigBear]

You could put
if answer not = "yes" and answer not = "no" then


but you should use

Turing:

if answer = "yes then elsif answer = "no" then else %whatever end if
