Do you want pseudocode or real code?

I think we should get double points if it actually compiles. :lol:

Well, that'd be pretty easy, but "as complicated as possible" using raw boolean values is kind of a catch-22.

true

TRUE GRIT

Now, I now that TRUE is one of those ubiquitous programming words used a lot in SQL and BASIC.

Was kind of hoping to get a string showing something like "IF GRIT =1 THEN TRUE" or something.

I haven't written BASIC since I was 10.

If you can in fact do this, I'd prefer it to be as complex as possible given the length of text.

Another thing: null characters terminate strings, so there can't be any spaces in the statement. You can cheat and use an array, but...

But a space isn't a null character. Er, and null doesn't necessarily terminate a string - it depends on the language.

Well, if you're getting the input from the iostream, a null character will be appended by a space. Even though I don't think that's what the thread starter wants, it's still worth noting.

I don't see the point in doing this in anything but C/C++/C#. That said, if all we're doing with the code is writing a syllogism, there are better ways to do that. But yeah, you're right.

Code:

if (grit == 1)
  {
         printf("No it isn't! You have failed at life.");
  }

Seriously though, I'm not sure what you're asking, what's grit? Actually, even if I knew I don't know how to code in basic, only C.

never mind. seriously. you're looking into this too deeply.

It's okay, I don't need it anymore.
