[SOLVED] Loop While Condition

[Kev 69]

Hi all,

 

Here's a loop while condition I have set:

 

Loop While:

#Name1 != #Name2 OR #Address1 != Address2

 

So, essentially I want it to loop while either of those scenarios are equal.

However, it doesnt stop looping when the condition is met.

 

If I did those individually on their own like:

 

Loop While:

#Address1 != Address2

 

then it works fine.

 

loop while(#name1 != #name2 OR #address1 != #address2)

 

That's the code there.

 

What's wrong with my logic??

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin

Hi,

 

Try changing the OR to AND.

The OR command equivalent in UBot Studio is EITHER

Try that one...

Hi,

 

Try changing the OR to AND.

 

Kevin

 

As weird as tthat logic seems to be it does actually work.

 

Kevin, how is this so?

 

Thanks for that.

Hi,

 

Yeah I thought it would.

 

The use of !=.

Using OR both conditions would have to be met to exit loop while.

Using AND either one of the conditions are met it will exit loop while.

Ah right, I get it.

 

Thanks again Kevin

AND and OR can be pretty confounding at first... never used EITHER... if someone has some free time I'm sure a tutorial highlighting usage and differences would be a welcome addition to the site...

Examples:

A = Oven = Kitchen Appliance

B = Fridge = Kitchen Appliance

C = Garage Door = Non-Kitchen Appliance

D = Vacuum Cleaner = Non-Kitchen Appliance

 

F = False = Logical Item

T = True = Logical Item

0 = False = Logical Item

1 = True = Logical Item

 

-------------

 

OR = EITHER

If ANY of the conditions is met, the result is TRUE

 

COMPARE Kitchen Appliances

A OR B = TRUE .... The Oven OR the Fridge are EITHER of them, Kitchen Appliances

A OR C = TRUE .... The Oven is a Kitchen Appliance while Garage Door is a Non-Kitchen Appliance, but at least ONE of them IS!

B OR C = TRUE .... The Fridge is a Kitchen Appliance while Garage Door is a Non-Kitchen Appliance, but at least ONE of them IS!

C OR D = FALSE .. The Garage Door OR the Vacuum Cleaner are none of them, Kitchen Appliances

 

Logical

F OR F = F = False OR False = FALSE

0 OR 0 = 0 (FALSE)

F OR T = T = False OR True = TRUE

0 OR 1 = 1 (TRUE)

T OR F = T = True OR False = TRUE

1 OR 0 = 1 (TRUE)

T OR T = F = True OR True = TRUE

1 OR 1 = 1 (TRUE)

 

-------------

 

AND = BOTH

If ALL the conditions at the same time are met, the result is TRUE

 

COMPARE Kitchen Appliances

A AND B = TRUE .... The Oven AND the Fridge are BOTH, Kitchen Appliances

A AND C = FALSE ... The Oven is a Kitchen Appliance; the Garage Door is a Non-Kitchen Appliance > NOT BOTH at the same time

B AND C = FALSE ... The Fridge is a Kitchen Appliance; the Garage Door is a Non-Kitchen Appliance > NOT BOTH at the same time

C AND D = FALSE .... The Garage Door AND the Vacuum Cleaner are none of them, at the same time, Kitchen Appliances

 

Logical

F AND F = F = False AND False = FALSE

0 AND 0 = 0 (FALSE)

F AND T = F = False AND True = FALSE

0 AND 1 = 0 (FALSE)

T AND F = F = True AND False = FALSE

1 AND 0 = 0 (FALSE)

T AND T = T = True AND True = TRUE

1 AND 1 = 1 (TRUE)

Nice...
