conditional IF with AND

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create an "if" conditional statement with two conditions,
whereby the statement is true when condition 1 AND condition 2 are met:

code structure:
if ?AND? (a[x,y] <condition1>, a[x,y] <condition2>)

I've trawled through the help files, but I cannot find an example of
the syntax for incorporating an AND in a conditional IF statement.

Thanks,
rcoder

The basic structure of an 'if' statement (from ?"if" -- don't
forget the ".." for certain keywords such as "if") is:

  if(cond) expr

What is not explained in the ?"if" help is that 'cond' may
be any expression that evaluates to a logical TRUE or FALSE.

Hence you can build 'cond' to suit your purpose. Therefore:

  if( (<condition 1 on a[x,y]>)&(<condition 2 on a[x,y]>) ) {
    <whatever you want to do if (cond1 AND cond2 ) is TRUE>
  }

Example:

  if( (a[x,y]>1.0)&(a[x,y]<2.0) ){
    print("Between 1 and 2")
  }

Hoping this helps,
Ted.
