[RESOLVED] What is wrong with this statement?

[Pasvorto]

My code:


Single PVal, TotPmts, Payment, Fmt, APR, APR2, PayType, FVal;
const int ENDPERIOD = 0;
const int BEGINPERIOD = 0;

--I will add code here later to get input data

If (APR > 1) then APR2 = APR / 100;
APR2 = APR2 / 12;


The "then" is underlined with the following message:

"; expected"

[nmadd]

There is no "Then" in an If statement like in VB.

            if (APR > 1)
            {
                APR2 = APR / 100;
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("APR is not greater than 1.");
            }

I get the same error with this :

If (APR > 1)
APR2 = APR / 100;
APR2 = APR2 / 12;

Got it. "If" is not the same as "if". C# will take some getting used to. :-)

That's right.


Also note that this:

            if (1 == 2)
            MessageBox.Show("What? 1 equals 2? I bet you don't see this message box.");
            MessageBox.Show("Hi there. You do see me.");

is not the same as this:

            if (1 == 2)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("What? 1 equals 2? I bet you don't see this message box.");
                MessageBox.Show("Now you don't see me either.");
            }

If you do not include the brackets, the if statement is only checking the first line. Personally I always use them as it is just clearer to me.
APR2 = APR2 / 12; in your code is always going to execute.

[Pasvorto]

I want the APR2 = APR2 / 12 to always execute.

[nmadd]

I want the APR2 = APR2 / 12 to always execute.

Ok then. It will.

Another hurdle overcome...
