FalseText
It can be called a logical test.
The only difference is that an if statement will be evaluated at most one time and a while statement will be evaluated repeatedly until the loop condition evaluates to false.
A logical test is any value or expression that can be evaluated as being true or false.
evaluated
True AND False OR True evaluates to True. IT seems like it does not matter which is evaluated first as: (True AND False) OR True = False OR True = True True AND (False OR True) = True AND True = True But, it does matter as with False AND False OR True: (False AND False) OR True = False OR True = True False AND (False OR True) = False AND True = False and True OR False AND False: (True OR False) AND False = True AND False = False True OR (False AND False) = True OR False = True Evaluated left to right gives a different answer if the operators are reversed (as can be seen above), so AND and OR need an order of evaluation. AND can be replaced by multiply, OR by add, and BODMAS says multiply is evaluated before add; thus AND should be evaluated before OR - the C programming language follows this convention. This makes the original question: True AND False OR True = (True AND False) OR True = False OR True = True
No. An if statement executes its target block if the condition is true, and executes its else block if the condition is false. There is no ambiguity. Even if the terms of the condition changed during the execution of the target block, it would not matter because the condition is evaluated only once, at the beginning of the processing of the if statement.
Evaluated
false
The If function has the following format: =IF(<Condition> , <True value> , <False value>) The Condition is the problem to be evaluated. eg. Amount of wages someone earned to determine their tax bracket. The True value is the action to be taken if the given condition is fulfilled. This may be to add a value to something or multiply a value by something etc. The False value is the action to be taken if the condition is not fulfilled. The three elements must be separated by commas. In any given case, either the False or True actions can be done, as a condition is either True or False, but never both. As an overall example, if in the cell B3 you had a value which must be multiplied by 10 if it is over 100 or else multiplied by 5 the function would be: =IF(B3>100, B3*10,B3*5) Breaking this down: B3>100 = Condition. B3*10 = True value. B3*5 = False value.
