Can someone tell me why this prints out 150 and 26 when it should be printing 175 and 1? Only the first iteration does X and Y both equate to 1, so the statement should only reach the ELSE once! I think I'm losing my mind here!





This is basically the exact same thing:

it prints exactly what it should print

it incrases thing1 every time that x and y are bigger than 1 so if your loop x goes from 2 to 16 and y from 2 to 11, thing1 will be incrased (16-1)*(11-1) times which is 150.

There are a total of 176 iterations overall. As far as I can see (and this is why im losing it right now) there is only a single instance where both X and Y equal 1 at the same time.

Thing1 = 10 x 15 = ?? You guessed it, 150.

Thing2 = 11 + 15 = ?? You guessed it, 26.

It reads "if x != 1 and y != 1" meaning that the if-clause will only be run when neither x nor y is 1.
That means that the else clause will be run when either of them is

Still makes no sense. I hate my brain today, I can't process simple logic at all.

So how would I write the IF statement I wanted the results of thing1 and thing2 swapped? (if that makes sense) In other words, I want to ignore when both X and Y are 1 without using an ELSE statement. I seriously want to hit myself with a hammer today

I wrote out my statement by hand:

1 <> 1 AND 1 <> 1 FALSE FALSE = FALSE
1 <> 1 AND 2 <> 1 FALSE TRUE = FALSE
1 <> 1 AND 3 <> 1 FALSE TRUE = FALSE
1 <> 1 AND 4 <> 1 FALSE TRUE = FALSE
1 <> 1 AND 5 <> 1 FALSE TRUE = FALSE
1 <> 1 AND 6 <> 1 FALSE TRUE = FALSE


Finally, it clicked into my thick caveman skull. I think I should just call it quits for today.
