Mathcad Prime 2.0 Also if statement

engpes · Sep 14, 2013

I am trying to write an if / also if statement program in Mathcad prime 2.0. I have 2 variables x and z and I want to return a "yes" value if BOTH are positive.

I have attached the Mathcad file, but it is not returning the right result. If one of the values is negative, I want it to give a "no" output.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks,

engpes,

While I am no Mathcad whiz, I believe that the x and z constraints (>0)should be combined together in an "and".
The first time your program receives a positive response (second line, z>0) it exits the conditional restraints and provides a "yes".

oops,
here it is in Mathcad prime.

"Also if" is not what you want here. Also if is evaluated after an if-statement, no matter what the first if resulted. Thats different to "else if". But also if would not make for a logical AND. As already stated you would just combine the two constrains using the logical and.
I attached a second (not recommended) way using "else if". Also, while not absolutely necessary in this case, I recommend using the return statement.
