Is there any command that could do this

[Kman43759]

What is it you are trying to achieve?

<
I want to know if theres a command that could let me do something like
var ans : string
put "hi"
get ans
if ans = "hey" or "hi" or "hello" or "you" then
put "Whats up?"
end if>


What is the problem you are having?
<Im coding a program kind of like siri and I already explained everything above. The way im doing it is im having a seperate if for if ans = "hi", if ans = "hey, if ans = "hello", and if ans = "yo" and this is making my code really long... I wish I could just shorten this by putting if ans = "hey" or "hi" or "hello" then put "Whats up">


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
var ans : string
put "hi"
get ans
if ans = "hey" or "hi" or "hello" or "you" then
put "Whats up?"
end if>

you're almost there!

an if statement (see if) is in the form of

code:

if trueFalseExpn then    statementsAndDeclarations end if

trueFalseExpn is any expression that returns a value of true or false (also known as boolean).

There is a boolean operator or that takes two boolean values, and also returns a boolean result (true if either one is true).

In your example, "ans = "hey" is a trueFalseExpn, but "hello" is not. You can see the latter if we use only that part

code:

if "hello" then   ...

doesn't look right.

You can turn all parts into boolean expressions though!

code:

if ans = "hey" or ans = "hi" or ans = "hello" then   ...

Thanks a lot! That really made my code alot smaller and easier to navigate
