Kickstarter pledges are a certain amount, or more, aren't they? If someone
donated 76.1% of the money today, that ought to be accepted automatically.

Hi All,
I have reading previous messages speculating about the
possible outcomes of the Kickstarter campaign.
But...

Oh, right.

You are thinking of false and true as individual statements and they are not.
The whole condition is one statement.
Or if you like, the ands are
It's order of precedence. AND before OR.

I should rephrase that. If condition 1 and/or 2 involve long time consuming
evaluations, there would be an advantage the putting conditions 3 and 4 in
parens, since they would be evaluated first, saving time in some instances. But
the way to do that is put your time consuming evaluations last wh
Doesn't matter. It's like saying 1 + 2 + (3 + 4). That is why they use + as the
AND operator in boolean logic.

My concern was not about how you write the if in LC, but about
the evaluation of the logical expressions, the order of precedence
and commutativity.
Obviously, I was wrong. case 1 and case

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your tries.
But...
After an if , there is a condition which is true or false;
don't have to check for each sub-condition if it is true, for instance:
put true into test
if test then put "Ok"

Thierry,

Hi Jacques,
Thanks for testing.
Umm, I don't have the correct answers.
The first test gives me False, which should be the same
as the fourth case which gives True!
Or, did I miss something ?

Thanks Mark, sounds like a stye thing then. I love it when real
programmers post on this list - what is DRY code?
Not really on topic, but whatever happened to decision table processors? I
used one years ago and found it to be a great way to express complex if
statements and their related action

OK, so I understand the parens thing now. Any thoughts on the use of

Lets say you have a complex if statement with 4 conditions that must all be

some of the conditions are in parens, for example:
if cond1 and cond2 and (cond3 and cond4) then
The manual says the grouping operator (parens) has the highest precedence
so does this mean (cond3 and cond4) will be evaluated before cond1 and
37 matches
