Logic programming help

Question

A = if infos !empty and inputs empty - do remove;

B = if infos empty and inputs !empty - do add;

C = if infos !empty and inputs !equal to infos - do add;

We can have like:

if B //it's the most common operation, so at the beginning.
{
  //add 
}
else
{
 //remove
}
elseif(c) 
{
 //the same add
} 

I believe this can be better thinking. Can I have your help?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

You sure can do that. Just order the conditional blocks: If... Else If... Else.

Answer 2

if (B || C) 
{
  //add 
}
else
{
 //remove
}

Answer 3

it's if, elseif (as much elseif's as you want) and finally else:

if B //it's the most common operation, so at the beginning.
{
  //add 
} elseif(something else) 
{
 //the same add
} elseif(c) 
{
 //the same add
} else
{
 //remove
}

Answer 4

if( !A ) {
  add;
} else {
  remove;
}

Short and clear in my opinion.

Answer 5

You can combine the conditions of B and C with the OR operator:

if (empty($infos) && !empty($inputs) || !empty($infos) && $inputs != $infos) {
    // add
} else if (!empty($infos) && empty($inputs)) {
    // remove
}

Answer 6

if (infos != inputs) {
    if (empty(inputs)) {
        // remove
    } else {
        // add
    }
}

Remember, the outermost condition checks that both values are never empty (never the same, actually). E.g.,

A = if infos !empty and inputs empty - do remove;

If inputs is empty infos can not be empty. Therefore, remove.

B = if infos empty and inputs !empty - do add;
C = if infos !empty and inputs !equal to infos - do add;

Different and inputs not empty => it doesn't mather whether info is empty => add.
