Hello All,
I was wondering if it is possbile to have an IF statement within an IF statement; IF-ception if you will.
Any replies or alternative suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks,
Daz

Hi Daz,
sure this is possible!
Code: Select all
...
## Pseudocode!
if today = "Saturday" then
if the time > 7_PM then
go_to_the_cinemas
else
visit_the_zoo
bring_the_kids
end if
end if
...
Best
Klaus

Do you mean something like this:
Code: Select all
on mouseup
if 4 = 4 then
if 5=6 then
answer "Uh,oh, math is not working"
else answer "whew, math is still OK"
end if
end mouseup
There are almost no limits to the way you can nest "if" structures. Check the dictionary. There are many allowed forms, and these can be mixed and matched at will.
I can tell you, though, start off simply; it is possible to get mired with very complex structures, and it is usually better to use several simpler ones than a single huge horror. Readability (and writability) frequently trumps brevity.
