[Squeakland] Using binary conditions as a part of a Test Box

[Scott Wallace]

Hi, Offray!

For the present, one has to use *nested* Test Boxes to achieve the  
effect of the "ands" and "ors" you want.

Thus, where you want, for example

   TEST ((elmer's x < 5) and (elmer's y < 5))
          YES  elmer make sound croak

this could be constructed as:

TEST  elmer's x < 5
   YES   TEST elmer's y < 5
            YES   elmer make sound croak

or (to explicate my shorthand):

or, if you wanted code in the NO branch as well,

TEST (a and b)
   YES  <some action>
   NO   <some other action>

would be achieved by:

TEST a
   YES  TEST b
          YES  <some action>
          NO  <some other action>
   NO  <some other action>

and similarly for the (non-exclusive) OR,

TEST  (a or b)
   YES  <some action>

would translate into:

TEST   a
   YES  <some action>
   NO   TEST b
          YES  <some action>

etc.


Cheers,
