Hey, I was shortening a Basic program the other day and I was wondering whether you could perhaps use parentheses (or something like it?) in If statements to preserve memory.

Example:
If A=B and (A=C or A=D)
Commands

In this scenario the statement would always need A to equal B to run, but also needs at least one of the parameters in the parentheses to be true as well. Nesting this sort of If statement could exponentially decrease memory usage. Is this at all possible, or is there another way to do this? Or am I being completely oblivious to something obvious?
Thanks.

Probably better?

The only thing that matters for an If statement is that you provide an expression which evaluates to a real numeric value, and anything other than 0 is truth.

Thanks m80

Only issue is it only refers to the largest of the two values. If the smaller value was equal to A, the statement would run incorrectly.

thanks.

That only saves one byte, and it slows down the program a little. It's not always worth the tradeoff.

I can't think of anything better.
