[tutorial] If - elsif - else statments

'If's are nice but case statments become lot easier and faster when you are dealing for known values like yes and no or 1 and 0!

code:

var answer : string loop     put "Is compsci.ca cool?"     get answer     case answer of         label "Yes", "Y", "yes", "y" :             put "You are so right"             exit         label "No", "no", "n", "N" :             put "Are you crazy?"             exit         label :             put "You did not answer correctly!"     end case end loop

You're doing too much work. Make the answer all upper or lowercase and you can cut the number of things you're looking for in half. Plus, you don't have to think about things like "nO" or "yEs".

this tutorial has everything you need to know about the if statement. i was wondering why turing has elsif instead of elseif. isn't that wierd.

Why not elif? =p

Because that is widely considered to be one of the less than wonderful quirks of Python syntax.

you're missing somethings in there
try this

It's very nice that you learned some new stuff, but we generally discourage just posting to say "good stuff". Please refrain from doing so in the future. Other than that, welcome to CompSci!

Nothing wrong with saying "thanks" once in a while...

There is, however, something wrong with being nitpicky with every thread, and replying for the sole purpose of critisizing a post that, really, didn't break any rules. Just something to ponder about, no harm done.

code:

var answer : string loop     put "Is compsci.ca cool?"     get answer     case answer of         label "Yes", "Y", "yes", "y" :             put "You are so right"             exit         label "No", "no", "n", "N" :             put "Are you crazy?"             exit %is this the only option?         label :             put "You did not answer correctly!"     end case end loop

When an unwanted value has been input, the "exit" command is usually input. But is it possible to continue the program after this happens, without exiting it, such as goto but without the need of inputting another loop? In general, is it possible to clear the value of a variable after it has been defined (through "get"), within an "if" statement?

variable:=""%or what ever you like.

And you do realize that you are posting in thread that is nearly four years old?

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, though!
I'll watch better next time ^^
