General logic question...

robfo0 · Apr 5th, 2002, 02:57 AM

just a general question:

I variables A, B, and C. I want to test if they are >0. I would like to return ALL that are greater than 0. There is a total of 8 situations that could be returned:

None, A, AB, AC, B, BC, C,or All (CB would count as BC)

My question is: Is it more correct or easy (it doesnt seem so) to make a nested IF statement, or use a Case statement? or is it a matter of taste? Ive tried writing a nested IF, but its gotten very messy

. Just wondering thanks

Hi there

Most people I know would use case statements.

Better readability I guess.
