if statements text

if statements text

(OP)
Curious, there is the "if statement and if function" options, but can you have MathCAD output text messages from an if statement much like Excel does?
eg If x > 1 then design is sufficient
      x < 1 then design is deficient

RE: if statements text

Depending on which version you have; in V11 and at least a couple of older versions, you can do this:

if(x>1,"Great!","Bummer!")

TTFN

RE: if statements text

You can also do things like

v1:="Great"
v2:="Bummer"
if(x>1,v1,v2)

RE: if statements text

(OP)
Thanks gentleman, but i dont see how it gives the output its more like a definition.  I would like to hide the actual "if statement" and only have the conclusion.

RE: if statements text

One way to hide the statements is:
 - Go to "Insert"/"Area"
 -  Write inside the if statements.
 -  Double click in one of the the arrow to hide the text and statements.

RE: if statements text

Another way is to put the statements off to the right beyond the printable area.
