So ive been trying to enter more than 3 if statements. Its just a fun type thing. I want to be able to have my friends be able to input their and there be a response to each of their names. I have managed to have 2 peoples names in. But when i try to add a third name in, the same way i added in the second name it doesnt work. Example of the the 2 names working is...

"WHATS YOUR NAME"?->A
If	 A=STEPH
Then	 "HEY STEPH"
IfEnd
If	 A=TYLER
Then	 "HEY TYLER"
Else	 "NAME IS NOT REGISTERED"

Now when i attempt to add a third name like this...

"WHATS YOUR NAME"?->A
If	 A=STEPHANIE
Then	 "HEY STEPH"
IfEnd
If	 A=TYLER
Then	 "HEY TYLER"
IfEnd
If	 A=DYLAN
Then	 "HEY DYLAN"
Else	 "NAME IS NOT REGISTERED"
IfEnd

When i do this the first name input, in this case "STEPHANIE", works without a problem and it displays, "HEY STEPH.
But if i input "TYLER" or "DYLAN" it displays

"HEY TYLER"
"HEY DYLAN"

And ive tried adding more names and responses like this

"WHATS YOUR NAME"?->A
If	 A=STEPHANIE
Then	 "HEY STEPH"
IfEnd
If	 A=TYLER
Then	 "HEY TYLER"
IfEnd
If	 A=DYLAN
Then	 "HEY DYLAN"
IfEnd
If	 A=CHRISTIAN
Then	 "HEY CHRISTIAN"
IfEnd
If	 A=JESSICA
Then	 "HEY JESSICA"
Else	 "NAME IS NOT REGISTERED"
IfEnd

But as before the Stepahnie's response works perfect but if i enter any other name i get all responses in sequence except Stephanie's like this

"HEY TYLER"
"HEY DYLAN"
"HEY CHRISTIAN"
"HEY JESSICA"

No matter which name (other than STEPHANIE) i put in, I get that result.
Please Help. Im toying with it to try to figure it out. If you know my error, please comment and point it out.
Thank you all in advanced!

Hello Dameyan1212 and welcome to UCF! You should introduce yourself.

try else if. Like this:

"WHATS YOUR NAME"?->A
If	 A=STEPHANIE
Then	 "HEY STEPH"
Else If	 A=TYLER
Then	 "HEY TYLER"
Else If	 A=DYLAN
Then	 "HEY DYLAN"
Else If	 A=CHRISTIAN
Then	 "HEY CHRISTIAN"
Else If	 A=JESSICA
Then	 "HEY JESSICA"
Else	 "NAME IS NOT REGISTERED"
IfEnd

EDIT:

Actually, what I just said won't work either. The real problem doesnt have anything to do with If statements. We need to use strings, that's all. So like this: "NAME" -> Str 1 If strcmp(str 1, "STEPHANIE") Then "HI STEPHANIE" IfEnd ... The reason the other code did not work was because since you were not using strings, it was handleing each letter a a number variable.

[Dameyan1212]

Thank you. Ive never used stings but I'll figure it out. Im assuming for te next person i put "NAME" -> Str 2?

[Dameyan1212]

I have no clue how to use stings...

Making sure your calc is in linear mode first (In run-mat, shift->menu; f2). When you need to insert a string, type Var, F6, F5 followed by the string you want to reference. To access the string commands, press shift->vars, f6, f6, f1.

PRGM mode is always linear, but anyway...

Yeah, like this:

"NAME" -> Str 1

If strcmp(str 1, "STEPHANIE")
Then "HI STEPHANIE"

Else If strcmp(str 1, "NAME")
Then "HI NAME"

Else "NAME NOT REGISTERED"
IfEnd

BTW, to access strcmp(), go to the string (str) section of the program menu.

Usage:

strcmp(<string>,<string>)

It compares the two strings. If they are the same, it returns 1 (true). Otherwise, it returns 0 (false).

Ok i think i get it. im gonna go try. if not ill be back. But thanks

[flyingfisch]

OK, cool. Feel free to post here again if you have more trouble with this program.

I look forward to seeing your future programs

I think you can make the program respond to any name.
This is my code:

"What is your name"?->Str 1
"Hi"
Locate 7,3,Str 1
Locate StrLen(Str 1)+7, 3, "."

My code uses all caps for the text so it looks the same as your response.
