combining if statments

[pileot]

Im trying to do multiple combinations of... im not sure what to call it.... in an if statment and im not sure its correct...

example

If A and B both are true as one option

If C and D both are true as a second option

How can i do if (A and or (C and D) are true then do the if statment.

How do i do this?

[d4rk]

something like this ?

$a=1
$b=1
if $a=1 and $b=1 then 
...
else
...
endif

[pileot]

more like

$a=1
$b=1
$c=1
$d=1

if $a=1 and $b=1 or $c=1 and $d=1 then 
endif

to trigger both A and B should be 1, or C and D, or all four...

i tried this, but it seems it doesnt want to work, im thinking its got something to do with order of events and needing brackets or something, but i dont know if i can do that...

[d4rk]

While $a=1 and $b=1
if $c=1 and $d=1 then
Exitloop
Endif
Wend

if $a=1 and $b=1 and $c=1 and $d=1 then
;the result at last ...
endif

[pileot]

i want it to trigger if both a and b are true or if both c and d are true...

i want it to trigger if both a and b are true or if both c and d are true...

If ($a And $B) Or ($c And $d) Then
;whatever
EndIF

i want it to trigger if both a and b are true or if both c and d are true...

you should post this at first of your topic

...as a fix as daniel's code

$a=1
$b=1
$c=1
$d=1

If ($a=1 And $b=1) Or ($c=1 And $d=1) Then
;whatever
EndIF

Pay attention, this code checks if $a, $b, $c, $d equal one, not if they're true. Being 'True' means being anything different than 0, including 1 and all other possible values, so you should use 'If $MyVar Then' instead of 'If $MyVar = 1 Then'.

Ya well im not exactly always using vars, but there have been many parts where i wanted to add multiple instances to an if statment, and i couldnt make the if statments work...

And i wasnt quite sure how to ask what i was asking, which is why it all wasnt in the first post... i tried my best to explain what i was trying to do, and eventually the idea got through...

using brackets looks like its gonna work

if (1 = 1 and 2 = 2) or (3 = 3 and 4 = 4) then, etc. By true i meant the expression was true, $a = 1, etc. Doesnt matter what the equation is, as long as it passes the test.

i didnt know brackets could be used, but that makes it easier. Now more of my programs will be better created. Thanks!

i don't mentioning about 'True' or 'False' in my the code i've changed, i declared $a=1 ... $d=1 and i use if to check that, the topic starter should be smart enough to learn from that example
