The one that restricted people to doors.

Here it is.............

compare_ars FLAG 1 N
if_false
yes_no "There are doors that might offend people do you want access to them?" if_true
TOGGLE_USER_FLAG 1 Y

else
print "You are restricted to some programs."

If you look close at page 32 of the Baja Doc that comes with 2.3b release you will see the following.


END_IF
This function is used to terminate an IF_... or ELSE code block. Every IF_... function must be followed by an ELSE or END_IF instruction, and every
ELSE function must be followed by an END_IF.

Ah. I'm glad you pointed that out since it's always been a dilemma for me because Rob's BAJA Manual is very vague about that (it, in fact, _implies_ that an "else" ends an 'if/then' thing without an "end_if" - sort of - you have to _know_ Rob to figure out what he means in his DOCs - that's where having this DOVEnet really _was_ useful - Rob's Manuals assumed such great prior knowledge).

Uh, sorry for the run-ons!

Well really if_true and yes_no is the same statement. The difference being that the yes_no will print the Y/n lightbar code, and the if_true will follow whatever instruction you have given. I do believe that you would not find a need to use both together like that. If you did, you would need 2 end_if statements.

No, wait - it says that every IF_ must be terminated by ELSE or END_IF, _BUT_ it also says that all ELSE functions must be followed by END_IF anyways. Therefore, it outlines two possibilities:

1. IF...END_IF
2. IF...ELSE...END_IF

hmm, the way I read this is...

if you have a IF_...
then I can either put a ELSE or END_IF after it
but if you put an ELSE after the IF_ then you HAVE to put an END_IF after the else.

is this easier for you to read and make sense of?

Yes, an ELSE can terminate an if_then, but then the ELSE need an end_if.

um, termninate is not the best word to use since I think that might have been part of the origonal problem.

you can have either...

IF_YES
go_on_mad_rampage

or...

IF_YES
give_user_1000000_ducks

give_user_mud_pie

The manual very plainly states that an ELSE can end an if/then statement but the else statetment still requires an end_if.

It depends on the context from which viewed how one might interpret the phrasing. My experience of Rob's Manual language is it's vagueness, omitted detail, and assumption of prior knowledge. It's easy to say, after one's total immersion and Synchronet experience that it's "plainly state[d]," but when
read from a total rookie's perspective it is otherwise in most cases.

They do, very much so. LOOP, and many other commands won't work unless a END IF is after a IF/ELSEIF/ELSE. Also QB 4.5 and better gets mad at you... :)

Ah, been a while since I took a class in that (of course, I already new BASIC, and the class was 80% flowcharting)...

In C, <duck> END_IF's aren't needed in normal code because everything is done in blocks of code which are started and ended by { and } "curly-braces". For example:

if(something)
{
do_something;
keep_going;
}
else
{
do_something_else;
and_stuff;
}

The only time something like END_IF is used in C <duck again> to my knowledge is in preprocessor definitions (things that the compiler looks at while compiling the program rather than when the compiled program is run), which work like

#if something
do_something
#else
do_something_else
#endif

(as you can see it's very similar to the BAJA structure) It's very useful for using flags to cause the program to compile differently (e.g. for different compilers or OSes)
