Elseif Expression I need help

Question

Don’t understand why IN A ELSEIF EXPRESSION this:
elseif ($y=21 && $y<22)
Is different than this:
elseif ($y<22 && $y=21)

Answer 1

Your code is very different to what you have in this question. Your 2nd elseif is ($y>=22 && $y<=95).

Answer 2

1) testing if y is equal to 21 and less than 22 doesn't make sense. If y equals 21, it will always be less than 22

2) use == for comparison, not =.

if($y == 21) checks if y is equal to 21.

if($y = 21) assigns 21 to y and returns true.

So if($y = 21 && $y < 22) will always be true (y will be set to 21 first and then it'll check if y is less than 22)

whereas in if($y < 22 && $y = 21), the second part (set y to 21) will only be executed if the first part (y < 22) is true

Answer 3

Did you try it and get a different result? The only time this would be True is when y = 21. The test for y<22 seems like a waste of time.

Answer 4

yes I get different result. if you check the excercise I made named "ifelse alcoholic" it prints different results

Answer 5

try changing the first elseif with the examples I provided and, one way will works and the other wont

Answer 6

thanks a los Anna I used = the first time and did not work With == did just great. I will search deeper the differences about this.
