You might like to reflect on your own advice: those who responded to your message aren't exactly new to programming. I've used a few different assembly languages and none of them supported "multiple nested levels of IF THEN" in the way illustrated. Indeed, "if" statements (at the level employed by Python) were a luxury feature you'd have needed to implement yourself as some kind of assembler macro using branches or conditional execution modes on instructions. > I asked a very narrow question about a very specific language > mechanism, and I know exactly what and why I'm doing what I'm doing. "When in Forthland speak Forth, please." Do those words look familiar? I would recommend that you review the thread in which those words appear with respect to Python.
