Question

Ok, I know this is a mess. This is why I’m posting it here. I hope you can understand the logic that I am trying to create. Is there a nicer way to make this happen?

else if (((!(lc(this).getByIndex(i).dim2.Shirts)) && ('Nike' in lc(this).getByIndex(i).dim3)) 
    || (('Nike' in lc(this).getByIndex(i).dim3) && ('Shirts' in lc(this).getByIndex(i).dim2)))

There are basically two statements here: I want this statement to prove true if Shirts AND Nike are present OR Nike but no category at all. Hope that helps, but I will move this over to code review, but will wait for a solid answer so someone gets the cred 🙂 … Thanks for the tip.

Based on GitaarLAB’s answer, how about this?

...
else {
    var x      = lc(this).getByIndex(i),
        y      = x.dim2.Shirts,
        nike   = 'Nike'   in x.dim3,
        shirts = 'Shirts' in x.dim2;

    if (!y && nike || nike && shirts) { ... }
}
