Select Case mistake

[mnrvovrfc]

Yep, you're very much the Chatty Cathy around these parts, that's for sure. Hey, is that Cathy with a "C" or Kathy with a "K" do you suppose?

Sometimes I feel like Guisewite. No I didn't like that cartoon strip but...

@Kernelpanic you will have to remove altogether the "CASE IS > 5500" and in the "CASE ELSE", test for your "VW Polo", allowing nothing else higher than 7000.

@Kernelpanic you will have to remove altogether the "CASE IS > 5500" and in the "CASE ELSE", test for your "VW Polo", allowing nothing else higher than 7000.

Yes, I tried that too, but I want to show the difference between Select Case and Select EveryCase.

I've tried everything again, but it doesn't work; I noticed that with the comma also yesterday.
"Or" seems really redundant since it doesn't seem to do anything. An "And Less" would be good: Case Is > 5500.00 And Less 7000.00 - Case Is > 5500.00 And 7000.00 <

This would work in the sample program (Select Case):
Available (purchase price) up to 6100.00 -> VW Polo
Available (purchase price) up to 7100.00 -> (Case Else) Not on offer

Code: (Select All)

'This would work in the sample program (Select Case):
'Available (purchase price) up to and including 6100.00 -> VW Polo
'Available (purchase price) up to and including 7100.00 -> (Case Else) Not on offer

CLS
INPUT "Purchase Price: "; purchase_price
SELECT CASE purchase_price
    CASE IS <= 6100.00
        PRINT "VW Polo."
    CASE 6100.01 TO 7100.00
        PRINT "6100.01 TO 7100.00"
    CASE ELSE
        PRINT "Not an offer"
END SELECT
SLEEP
RUN ' Try another price.

Is this basically what you're looking for?

Code: (Select All)

I wish Musk would hurry up and invent the Universal translator. Honestly, the Kernel must struggle with the language here a lot, and I can't imagine how the guys from Australia can even keep up.

Yes! With Select EveryCase, a buyer would see all the offers that are within their price range. With Select Case, only what comes first.

Nice. For further reference, we had discussion about SELECT EVERYCASE in this thread as well: https://staging.qb64phoenix.com/showthre...04#pid9304

@Pete - The example works like this, but in practice you only have one choice.

PS: I know the thread, it was the suggestion for my example.
