on *:op:#:{

There is no "better" way, nor is there an "absolute" one, you code, however YOU find it easiest, however, usually you will find people will 'add' the if statements together.

On *:OP:#:{
if ($chan != #test) && ($opnick == $me) {
msg # 9»8 Thanks for op 9«
}
}

Btw; from your samples above, 3 and 4 are the only ones that will work because, sample 1 has an if in the middle of an if statement, you probably wanted a &&, and similiarly 2 has the same but a | instead of a { as well.

Eamonn.

The first one will work fine, nested if's behave equivalent to using &&.

Oh well, fair enough, although thats not the purpose of an if.

Eamonn.

It works exactly the same as a none nested if statement, it's only like using && because in a nested if, both conditions have to be met, eg:



Is the same as:

i would stick with examples 3 & 4 for coding as u will find it much easier to understand if u leave it for a while and come back to it later. coding on a single line can become confusing if u have lots or brackets in it.

Nested if's like this are great because you have stuff that can occur when both conditions are met, but you can also have a different thing occur when only the first condition is met.
