If...Then...Else

Craig

I want to compare several items and if they are all equal then do
this...otherwise do this...see example below...

If (a = a) AND (b = b) AND (c = c) AND (d = d) Then
..Code..
Else
..Code..
End If

do you mean this?

if a=b and a=c and a=d then
' all equal
else
' not the same
end if

Unless one of those can be Null, according to the example,
you don't need the test. As shown it will always evaluate to
True....

OMG.. This is brilliant code! Hope you dont mind I copy it so I can use it
in my own programs.

roflmao!

hey, wouldn't it be cool to also have a function that would allow you to
give it the values you wanted to compare against a variable and if a match
existed in the list...return a certain value? i think i'd call that function
"switch-a-roo"...maybe just "SWITCH". but that's years down the line...way
too advanced for the technology we have today! after all, we've still gotta
work out how this "IF THEN ELSE ELSEIF" stuff is going to work! another wish
list item i'd have would be maybe something called "SELECT". its purpose
would be to unclutter IF/THEN/ELSEIF/ELSE when you had a bunch of conditions
where you may want to execute code...maybe call the comparitor value a
"CASE"...like "in case this value is eq. to this other value".

but i digress, that's all just too far in the future.

lol

I have a truly radical idea. Maybe we could have variables that could hold
different kinds of data! Like if you set it equal to a string, it would
become a string variable. If you set it to an integer, it would switch to
being an integer.

Wadaya think? Too difficult? Too strange a concept? Would it even be
useful, like if you didn't know what kind of data you were going to get?

If/Then/ElseIf/Else...I'll have to think about that one. We may be onto
something there. I think there's a problem, though. How will the compiler
know how many lies belong to the Else? I think it should have an EndIf or
something like that.
