If statement. Variable between 2 values (SOLVED)

[Exiscoming]

Hey, quick (hopefully easy) question. How do I make an if statement activate if a variable is between 2 numbers? Example:

Code: Select all

if variable == 1-5:
"Hi, good to see you again!"
elif:
"Hello, I don't think we've met."

I know it's a dumb question, but I've been searching for over an hour, and simply don't know exactly what to look for.

Code: Select all

if 1 <= variable <=5:
    "something"
else:
    "something else"

You can also take out the = to have the comparison exclude the boundary numbers.

Thank you! Is this the only way to do it though? I seem to have this idea that you could do something like:

Code: Select all

if variable == (1, 6):
   "Something happeneds."

Not sure if I just misremember or maybe it's from another code language. It's been a long time since I've tried Ren'py.

Looks like it's from another language. In python, that statement says "if variable is equal to the tuple (1,6)", so it certainly isn't what you're looking for.
Maybe you're thinking of:

Code: Select all

if variable in range(1, 6):
   "Something happeneds."

Maybe... either way it worked! Much obliged!

Thanks again for the help, but I've stumbled upon another problem. Can I add an if statement inside of an if?

Example:

Code: Select all

    if 0 >= morale <= 5:
        "What?! No way!"
    elif 6 >= morale <= 10:
         $morale -= 1
         $bobHomework += 1
         "Fine I'll do it."
         if 1 >= bobHomework <= 10:
              "Bob looks dumb."
         elif 11 >= bobHomework <= 20:
              "Bob looks smart."

Right now it sometimes goes: "Bob looks smart." eventhough his bobHomework veriable is 1.

Because all your comparisons are the wrong way. 1 <= variable <= 10, not 1 >= variable <= 10.

Try

Code: Select all

        if 1 <= bobHomework <= 10:
              "Bob looks dumb."
        elif 11 <= bobHomework <= 20:
              "Bob looks smart."

edit: I'm soooo sloooo...

Oh that's it! But wait, doesn't <= mean less or equal to?

Example:
if <= 10 Variable <= 20
"Activate!"

Doesn't this read as anything lower or equal to 10 and everything lower or equal to 20 will activate it?
Say that the variable is 9. That's lower than 10 and will therefor activate, right?

You can't do that. What you're likely after is

Code: Select all

if 10 <= Variable <= 20:
    "Activate!"

So if Variable is greater than or equal to 10, and less than or equal to 20, it's true.

haha, thank you all for the help. I 'think' I get it now. And it seems to be working. I'll probably come up with more questions in the future, but for now thanks!
