Question

I have the following logic in my code

if((leftCombo.getSelectedIndex() !> rightCombo.getSelectedIndex())&&(rightCombo.getSelectedIndex() !< leftCombo.getSelectedIndex())

Doing something wrong obviously.

Here are the errors

Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 112 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before not.

Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 112 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before logicaland.

Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 112 1084: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before not.

Thanks

Answer 1

!> and !< are not valid operators….

This is easily seen by your error traces:

Syntax error: expecting rightparen before not.

The not operator (!) is found, next to an invalid token (<) and the error arises.

What are you trying to say?

Assuming !> means “not greater than”, then you should use <=
Assuming !< means “not less than”, then you should use >=
