   Liberty Basic Beginner
  Hello, my name is Karl, though alot of friends call me Venomous. I've been interested in computers, particularly games for years, so after following my friend's advice, I bought Beginning Programming for Dummies, just to see how things worked. For anyone who doesnt know, it is focused around Liberty Basic. Im finding it interesting, but ive got a problem, and was wondering if somebody here could help me sort it.Ive been using the following code:PROMPT "what is your name?"; AnswerIF (Answer = nameA) THENPRINT "Hello, how are you?"END IFIF NOT(Answer = nameA) THENPRINT "who the hell are you?"END IFENDBut it seems to always give me the "Hello, how are you?", no matter what i put in for name. Can somebody help me fix this?Thanks in advance for any help,Karl   
  You sure it shouldn't bePROMPT "what is your name?"; AnswerIF (Answer = "nameA") THENPRINT "Hello, how are you?"END IFIF NOT(Answer = "nameA") THENPRINT "who the hell are you?"END IFENDorPROMPT "what is your name?"; AnswerIF (Answer == nameA) THENPRINT "Hello, how are you?"END IFIF NOT(Answer == nameA) THENPRINT "who the hell are you?"END IFENDor both?   ;  Well I'm not saying this is the problem but try changing Answer to Answer$. If you have declared this and NameA as numericals, instead of strings they will always be the same when you try to jam a string into them.   ;  just tried the 3 above suggestions, and all of them just end up not working, not even getting to the part where it asks user for the name when i try to run it.Thanks for the help, hopefully ill be able to work it out soon   ;  Try this:input "what is your name?"; Answer$if Answer$ = "pulpfist" thenprint "Hello, how are you?"end ifI dont have Basic installed but this tutorial has some inforeference;  thanks pulpfist, im now using:prompt "what is your name?"; Answer$if Answer$ = "pulpfist" thenprint "Hello, how are you?"ElsePrint "who the hell are you?"end ifwhich seems to be working fine, thanks for all the help guys, sorry for being such a noob.Karl
