Question in a question

[DVL_IAC]

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:

code:

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

you could build out if - elsif - else structure.

you could use a process so that the music starts playing, and it starts to ask the user if he wants to change songs...

i clicked the link and read and im confused.

i put

code:

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!"

i'm guessing im not understanding the if - elsif - else thing right

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.

it understands it alright - computers don't make mistakes. You just wrote it down wrong

Use F2 to indent your code and take a look at your structure closely. Try to follow it through in your head.

hmm like this

code:

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

code:

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.

I did and it seams fine to me...

[Bacchus]

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]

ok i got it to continue when you push n on the first question..

code:

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]

use

code:

elsif

instead of

code:

if

or
put the ifs inside another if
I think thats called nested ifs
lol
gl

[ssr]

code:

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")     delay (7000)     %don't end it just there furthermore u will ask the question if the answer is yes     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 elsif choice1 = "n" then     put "Fine then! " ..     delay (1000)     put "Be that way!" end if

There you go, a code, hopefully thats what u need

[ssr]

Or I know that people say

code:

process

is evil
but I do suggest using it in a music file
so u can get the input while the music is playing

Check out the tutorial if u dont know what a

code:

process

is.

Im sure there are better ways to do it.
Good Luck With It 8)

yay it worked! TY!

[DVL_IAC]

Now 1 more question and i think i should be good for a bit can you make like a go back button... like if u asked what do u want to do and they select play games which brings up a list of games they can play and 1 option would be go back to main menu... is there a code to go back one step?

[edit]
woah regular users can double post! in the forums i usually hang around at only staff and admins can double post. if regular users could double post the forums would get majorly spammed up

[ssr]

yes sure u can
put the code in a

code:

loop

and after the programis finished, get the input from the user, use if statement again to check if they want to continue...I think thats it.

As for that yaya we all should be greatful for that
