Set a variable to two different values Topic is solved

[SPabs]

I want to make a script for a card game in which an Ace equals 1 or 11. The only thing I can think to do is have a variable, call it "Ace," and set it equal to 1 and/or 11; however, I can't figure out how to do this... I can make Ace:=1 or Ace:=11, but not Ace:=1 or 11. How would I go about this? Would there be a better method?

[TLM]

what about an array

Code: Select all

Ace := [ 1, 11 ]

msgbox % Ace.1 " or " Ace.2

If Ace must equal either 1 or 11 based on "some other factor" you could use ternary something like this

Code: Select all

SomeOtherFactor := 1

Ace := ( SomeOtherFactor = 1 ) ? 1 : 11

msgbox % Ace

Ace := ( SomeOtherFactor = 0 ) ? 1 : 11

msgbox % Ace

If this a static string manipulation, you could simply go

Code: Select all

Ace := 11

msgbox % SubStr( Ace, 1, 1 ) " or " Ace

Thanks, that's more than I could have asked for
