Troubles with "Is 1+1-1=1?"

[cuterobot22]

https://snap.berkeley.edu/project?username=cuterobot22&projectname=Is%201%2B1-1%3F%20NOT%20WORKING

I tried to do this project as a use of reporters, but it says the reporter did not report. I thought that was it's job.
Get it wrong to find the error.

The else clause will never run, as the expression <false> will never be true.

[ego-lay_atman-bay]

Your problem is that you set the else if condition to false, making it not run. It needs to be

if <(answer) = [1]> {
  report <<true>>
} else if <t> {
  report <<false>>
} @delInput @addInput

This is basically just doing

if <> {
  ...
} else {
  if <t> {
    ...
  }
}

Then again, if you're just doing a simple check like this, it's even easier to just do

report <(answer) = [1]>

[cuterobot22]

Got it!

[cuterobot22]

Check it now

[cuterobot22]

still no work

[sathvikrias]

change the custom block definition to report <(answer) = [1]

[mark4sisb]

That is because you are using the <is answer 1> boolean that you made, which still has the definition:

if <(answer)=[1]>{
report <<true>>
}else if <f>{
report <<false>>
}@delInput@addInput

"Else if false" will never trigger, because false is never true.

[cuterobot22]

So how do I fix it?

[snapenilk]

@ego-lay_atman-bay

if <(answer) = [1]> {
  report <<true>>
} else if <t> {
  report <<false>>
} @delInput @addInput

flip the switch after else if, or just report <(answer) = [1]>

[sathvikrias]

@sathvikrias

change the custom block definition to report<(answer)=[1]>

[cuterobot22]

That's what I did.

[ego-lay_atman-bay]

Well you didn't save the project.

[mark4sisb]

@cuterobot22

That's what I did.

You need to flip the switch in your custom block definition as well as in your code. This will work:

So will this:

You could also have done:

[snapenilk]

or

(Is answer 1?) :: define+
report (if <(answer) = [1] $delInput $verticalEllipsis $addInput> then [Correct!] else [Nope.])

[cuterobot22]

That makes sense, but it still does not work! I think I am doing something wrong.

[bluebaritone21]

You haven't saved, so we can't see what's wrong. You still have the else if false.

[cuterobot22]

Now I have!

[sathvikrias]

As I have repeatedly said, just change the block definition to

report <(answer) =[1]

Also you have not saved the project…

[mark4sisb]

Is not the same as:

The second one is the one you should be using. You accidentally flipped the wrong switch ;).
