How to use "OR" (AutoIt Newbie)

[Joeydenhaag]

Global Const $HEADER_ITEMTYPE_SKILLTOME   = 9
Global Const $HEADER_ITEMTYPE_GOLDCOINS   = 20
 
If ($itemType = $HEADER_ITEMTYPE_SKILLTOME Or
    $itemType = $HEADER_ITEMTYPE_GOLDCOINS) Then
    
    Return True

Endif

Hi guys, new AutoIt programmer here. I'm not entirely sure why I am getting the following errors . I assume its because I am using "Or" incorrectly.

Would be sweet if someone could point the issue out

Some languages allow you to continue a line like that but in AutoIt, the line continuation character is the underscore (_).  So if you wanted to break up your if statement like that, it would look like this:

Global Const $HEADER_ITEMTYPE_SKILLTOME   = 9
Global Const $HEADER_ITEMTYPE_GOLDCOINS   = 20

If ($itemType = $HEADER_ITEMTYPE_SKILLTOME Or _
    $itemType = $HEADER_ITEMTYPE_GOLDCOINS) Then

    Return True

Endif
