====== Source of this tip: Ernesto ====== * A regular <code>if then</code> condition can't contain an <code>else</code> statement, as in this example: <code>10 if a=0 then x=10</code> * If you need to do an <code>if then else</code> structure, you actually have to do an <code>if else endif</code> structure like in the following example, skipping the <code>then</code> statement. <code>10 if a=0<br /> 20 x=1<br /> 30 else<br /> 40 x=2<br /> 50 endif</code> * If you do it in one line it needs to have some colons added, making it look weird like this: <code>10 if a=0:x=1:else:x=2:endif</code> * if you dare to omit the <code>endif</code> thinking that the <code>if</code> statement won't need it, (mmm.., everything is in one line, so no need, right?) -Nope...all hell breaks loose!- <code>10 if a=0:x=1:else:x=2: REM "<-- Error, omited the endif"</code> * be careful not to add an extra <code>then</code> statement by mistake to an <code>if else endif</code> structure, if you do -All hell breaks loose again!!- <code>10 if a=0 then : rem "<-- Error, THEN is not needed!!!" <br /> 20 x=1 <br /> 30 else <br /> 40 x=2 <br /> 50 endif</code> ''Debugging hint: If you encounter an error like "open structure" or "endproc without a proc": do not trust the line number that you are given. The root of the problem is probably in a structure earlier on in the code.''
