weird problem with if statement

[person]

y doesnt this work?
its supposed to check if a dot's colour is 1 or 44, and if its not 1 or 44 then draw a circle there

code:

if whatdotcolor (40, 40) not= (44 and 1) then     drawfilloval (40, 40, 35, 35, 1) end if

[cycro1234]

why do u have

if whatdotcolor (40, 40) not= (44 and 1) then


the and there?? its:

if whatdotcolor (40, 40) not= *insert colour here*

[person]

ummm.....maybe 44 and 1 r colours?

[Bacchus]

thats not how u use and. you need to do

code:

if whatdotcolor(x,y)not=color1 & whatdotcolor(x,y) not=color2 then

[md]

I'm not sure what cryo

[person]

so wat does turing think im trying to say when i use my previous code?

[Bacchus]

no idea im not turing

[cycro1234]

I don't think Turing understands that.

[person]

if it doesnt understand it, y does it still run?

[cycro1234]

Hey, I'm just a noob

[person]

code:

if whatdotcolour (x,y) = (colour1 and colour2) then        % stuff end if

wat does this mean if it doesnt mean...

code:

if whatdotcolour (x,y) = colour1 and whatdotcolour (x,y) = colour2 then        % stuff end if

i know its not an error because turing actually runs it

[cycro1234]

Well if it doesn't work, don't use it

[person]

y doesnt it work?

[cycro1234]

I dunno, ask some1 whose not n00bish.

Turing is not like most other languages.

to compare a value to other values, you must use different statements.

code:

if x=1 or x=5 then %stuff end if

also, perhaps you may wish to rephrase that statement.

code:

if whatdotcolor(x,y)_ ~= color1 and whatdotcolor(x,y) ~= color2 then % stuff end if

What you have doesn't make sense to turing. you are comparing the value of (whatdotcolor(40,40)) to (44 and 1). NOT them individually, but together. -- Bad!

another way (if you want)--

code:

if whatdotcolor(40,40) = 44 or whatdotcolor(40,40) = 1 then %its bad! else %its good! end if

but that'll probably get you yelled at.
