Not Equal
PostPosted: Sat Jan 30, 2021 6:33 pm     Reply with quote

I have a variable (int8) that is loaded with an Eeprom value that cannot be greater than 3.
I tried to use the following expression, but it is not doing the comparison as expected.

Code:
void main(void)

 ...
   TIPO=read_eeprom(0);
   if(TIPO !=0 || TIPO !=1 || TIPO !=2 || TIPO !=3)
    {
     TIPO=3;
     write_eeprom(0,3);   
    }

 ...


the TIPO variable cannot be less than zero or greater than 3.
Using the expression above does not work, it is always executed even if the variable is within 0 or 3.
it just worked with the following expression.
Code:
void main(void)

 ...
   TIPO=read_eeprom(0);
   if(TIPO >3)
    {
     TIPO=3;
     write_eeprom(0,3);   
    }

 ...

Why is the first expression not functional?

I believe your code is working properly. If TIP0 is equal to '2' your if() statement compares if TIP0 is not equal to '0'. Well, it's not equal to '0' because it's '2'. Therefore, it enters the if() and executes the code inside it.

I'm no expert but what if your code is like this...

Code:
if(TIP0 >= 0 && TIP0 < 4)


Try that.

You want it to set TIPO to 3 if it's value is 4 or greater.
Any value in the range of 0 to 3 is OK. So you should have used
the '&&' operator as shown below. Then it works.
Code:

#include <18F46K22.h>
#use delay(internal=4M)
#use rs232(baud=9600, UART1, ERRORS)

//======================================
void main(void)
{
int8 TIPO = 4;

if(TIPO !=0 && TIPO !=1 && TIPO !=2 && TIPO !=3)
    {
     TIPO=3;
     printf("Set TIPO = 3 \r");
    }
else
     printf("Did not set TIPO = 3 \r");
 


while(TRUE);
}

Think about it. You are asking for the code to execute if
TIPO!=0 _or_ TIPO!=1 _or_ TIPO!=2 _or_ TIPO!=3
This is true for every number.

If it is 0, the last three terms all return 'TRUE' so it'll execute.
If it is 1, the first and last two terms will all return TRUE, so again it'll
execute.
for 2, and 3, again three terms will be true, so it'll execute.
Then when the number gets to 4, all the terms will be true, so again it'll
execute.
Same applies for every number.... Sad

Your 'not' is in the wrong place.

if( !(TIPO ==0|| TIPO ==1 || TIPO ==2 || TIPO ==3))

Will execute if TIPO is not 0, 1, 2, or 3.

or as PCM shows, you can use and.

Thank you all.
I don't know why I got confused with the result of the comparison.
The variable cannot have values other than 0 and 3 or the program hangs.
