ifthenhelpme Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Ok ... so I have this project for school ... Geometry class ... we have to make a script to turn a few words into a conditional statement ... the converse of it ... the inverse of the condition ... and to make it decide if its true or false and make it create a counterexample or a biconditional statement...here's what i have so far...and it already doesn't work...$p=InputBox("Hypothesis", "Type in the hypothesis in the space provided.", "") $q=InputBox("Conclusion", "Type in the conclusion in the space provided.", "") MsgBox(48, "Conditional Statement", "If $p , then $q EndIf.") SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

ifthenhelpme Posted September 24, 2004 Author Posted September 24, 2004 (edited) that helps me a little...i only get the hypothesis to show up now...$p=InputBox("Hypothesis", "Type in the hypothesis in the space provided.", "") $q=InputBox("Conclusion", "Type in the conclusion in the space provided.", "") MsgBox(48, "Conditional Statement", "If " & $p "then" & $q ) Edit: the message box needs to come up with a statement following this ... "If xxx, then yyy." can it do that? Edited September 24, 2004 by ifthenhelpme
ifthenhelpme Posted September 24, 2004 Author Posted September 24, 2004 ok...now it wont work because it says Error in expression and points to "If"
ifthenhelpme Posted September 24, 2004 Author Posted September 24, 2004 (edited) now the damn thing has no spaces...EDIT: Ok ... so I have this project for school ... Geometry class ... we have to make a script to turn a few words into a conditional statement (GOT IT EXCEPT THE SPACING) ... the converse of it(WHICH MEANS SWITCHING $P AND $Q) ... the inverse of the condition(INSTEAD OF "If it is sunny, then the sky is clear" it would change it to "If it isn't sunny, then the sky isn't clear.") ... and to make it decide if its true or false and make it create a biconditional statement...

ifthenhelpme Posted September 24, 2004 Author Posted September 24, 2004 wow...this is totally confusing and the stupid teacher made it worth 100 points
emmanuel Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 wow...this is totally confusing and the stupid teacher made it worth 100 points <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'm really curious, did the teacher specify the language? "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks)

Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 I don't understand the if then, can someone please tell me how and what that does? $p=InputBox("Hypothesis", "Type in the hypothesis in the space provided.", "") $q=InputBox("Conclusion", "Type in the conclusion in the space provided.", "") MsgBox(48, "Conditional Statement", "If $p , then $q EndIf.") "If $p, then $q..." what is that doing?
ifthenhelpme Posted September 25, 2004 Author Posted September 25, 2004 @Bl@(K-R34P3R - it is not a regular autoit funtion...it is for goemetry @emmanuel - no she didnt specifify the language...i have been playing with AutoIt for a little while now and it seems easy...and u get a bagillion points for helping me...please explain "you already have one in your script"
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 I know that it's for geometry, I took that class 2 years ago, but I juts don't understand how that script you made works. What does it DO?
ifthenhelpme Posted September 25, 2004 Author Posted September 25, 2004 (edited) im trying to make it turn a few words into a conditional statement(If->then)...its converse(then->If)...its inverse(~If->~then)...and its contrapositive(~then->~If)EDIT: and if its possible make it determine if its true or false so it can make a counter-example or biconditional statement Edited September 25, 2004 by ifthenhelpme
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 AHHHH, my bad. I looked at your script again. For some reason, before I thought that you were actually using an IF THEN statement, but you are just using those words and printing the variable statements after. Thanks.
ifthenhelpme Posted September 25, 2004 Author Posted September 25, 2004 (edited) yea...can u help me? EDIT: If someone can help me through this I will send then atleast 2 free GMail invites...if that matters to anyone... Edited September 25, 2004 by ifthenhelpme
KnowledgeSponge Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 (edited) You are just wanting it to pop up a message box that says say I put 1 for $p and 2 for $q then have it pop up If 1 then 2 endif? If so that will work. $p=InputBox("Hypothesis", "Type in the hypothesis in the space provided.", "") $q=InputBox("Conclusion", "Type in the conclusion in the space provided.", "") MsgBox(48, "Conditional Statement", "If " & $p &" then " & $q & " EndIf.") Erm and why the hell are they having you script in geometry? That seems um... slightly off topic? If it's a college class you could probly talk to the head of the math department or whatever.

Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 His teacher isn't MAKING him do it. He is doing it to make his homework easier. All he does is put in the statement, and it prints out the converse, inverse, etc...
ifthenhelpme Posted September 25, 2004 Author Posted September 25, 2004 finally...someone figures out my true assignment...i just kinda figured that people would help more if they thought it was a project...sorry though
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Heh. Well, it's not like it really matters, plenty of people here use it for stuff like that.
ifthenhelpme Posted September 25, 2004 Author Posted September 25, 2004 ok...so ... can u help me out at all...remember i will send u a minimum of 2 gmail invites if u can help me and u want gmail...
