need simple example, i = 2, or = 6, etc.... 3

[cramd2]

Group,
I'm looking for a simple example to convert this logic to a javascript:
if
i != 3 or != 4
then
process more code

OR

if i = 2, or = 5, or = 6
then
process more code

I have found examples of (if (i ==2)) then process, but I have multiples that I need, such as (if i==2, or ==5, or ==6), but I cannot find correct syntax on a statement like this.
Thanks

The simple way is to use two if statements.
The double pipe || is an OR statement.

if (i != 3 || i != 4) {
  do something;
}

if (i == 2 || i ==5 || i == 6) {
  do something;
}

Stamp out, eliminate and abolish redundancy!

if(i != 3 [!]||[/!] i!= 4)

if(i==2 [!]||[/!] i==5 [!]||[/!] i==6)

Those are vertical bars representing the phrase "or"

'hope that helps.

I almost didn't even TRY to answer thread216-1213621. I figured you were on it even as I was quoting Maxwell Smart!

I was just leaving work. Things slow down in the afternoon so I just check when I get home for any problems someone posted late that I can answer so they do not wait until the next day for an answer.

Wait a second, did you mean [tt]i != 3[/tt] or [tt]i != 4[/tt]([tt]i[/tt] would have to equal BOTH 3 AND 4 {not possible} for this to be false)?
Or did you mean [tt]i != 3 or 4[/tt](this would be false if [tt]i[/tt] equals either 3 OR 4)?

This makes a big difference, as:

[tt]if(i != 3 || i != 4){[COLOR=red]do stuff[/color];};[/tt]

Will always execute [tt]do stuff[/tt] as it is impossible for [tt]i[/tt] to equal both numbers;
but:

[tt]if(i != 3 && i != 4){[COLOR=red]do stuff[/color]};[/tt]

Will only execute [tt]do stuff[/tt] if [tt]i[/tt] is neither 3 or 4.

...thus, for [tt]i[/tt] = 4 or 5 or 6, you would use

[tt]if(i == 4 [COLOR=green][b]||[/b][/color] i == 5 [COLOR=green][b]||[/b][/color] i == 6){[COLOR=red]do stuff[/color];};[/tt]

but for [tt]i[/tt] != 2 or 3 or 4, you would use

[tt]if(i != 2 [COLOR=green][b]&&[/b][/color] i != 3 [COLOR=green][b]&&[/b][/color] i != 4){[COLOR=red]do stuff[/color];};

Does this make sense for you?

Good catch robherc, I was more focused on the how-to than the actual output.

I just got back. What the heck happened here!!!

As originally posted, the question was !=3 or !=4. Of course, as Rob astutely noticed, this is sort of nonsense, since when i is 4, it is NOT 3 and passes the if-condition. Likewise, when i is 3, it is NOT 4.

I'll take the star, cramd2, but if I deserve one, certainly there are two others that deserve it more! thenightowl for answering the question you asked first and robherc for answering the question you MEANT!

Group,
All the posts were helpful, although the logic in my example was not good, I just needed a simple example using the "and" & "or" in a statement. I have found that the javascript is not the same as other languages that I've used with the "and" & "or".
Thanks for all the useful examples!
