Logic operators

The calculations in AlisQI do support basic logic operators (and + or).
You can create simple if then else statements with the ? and : operators.

In fact, the calculation engine has many advanced features. Read the documentation on the advanced calculation engine to learn about all of its capabilities.

Combine conditions

If you want to combine conditions with a logical AND use "and" or "&&" (ampersand).

conditionA and conditionB

If you want to combine conditions with a logical OR use "or" or "||" (pipes).

conditionA or conditionB

If then else-notation

If (condition) then (A) else (B) 

Can be defined as: 

condition ? A : B

Example

Imagine a form to calculate the surface of an area (either a square or a circle).
We have the fields: {length}, {width} and {radius}.

Now you want the calculation to be smart enough to distinguish the area type, based on the inputted dimensions.

If the radius is specified, use:

{radius}*pi^2

Otherwise, use:

{length}*{width}

This can be combined in a single evaluation:

{radius} ?  {radius}*pi^2 : {length}*{width}

Reuse the condition as value (?: notation)

If you want to use the value of the condition in the then leg of your evaluation, simply use the ?: notation.

condition ? condition : B

can be condensed to

condition ?: B

Logical and/or

Combine conditions with logical AND / OR operators.

AND operator

if ConditionA and ConditionB then 1 else 0 can be defined as:

ConditionA and ConditionB ? 1 : 0

OR operator

if ConditionA or ConditionB then 1 else 0 can be defined as:

ConditionA and ConditionB ? 1 : 0

Be aware that operators are case sensitive.
