What does "operands of boolean operators must be boolean" mean?

[Anastasia]

What does this mean "operands of boolean operators must be boolean"?

Turing:

var action: string loop put"" get action if action = "read the note" or "read note" or "read it" then put "Hi there! (Rules of the game)" else put "Read the note!" end if end loop

Please help

Thanks in adverse!

this is a very common beginner mistake. when you're using 'or' or 'and' you have to restate what you're comparing

eg.

if x = 5 or y - 5 then

you might think that x could be either one but the program thinks individually:
if x = 5 or '??' y - 5 then

you will have to restate the comparison variable and operator.

the correct statement would be:
if x = 5 or x = y - 5 then


ps. use the indent button. its one click and makes the code all neat and tidy
