Is it possile to put conditions on functions while calling them 2

[n4s]

Can any one tell me, is it possible to put conditions on functions while calling them from another function ?

Ex:-
function function1()
{
function2();
if function2() return value is true then
function3();
else
function4();
if function4() return value is true then
function5();
else exit

}


Plese give me the syntax or example for the above.

Thank you,
SAHI.

Here's a quick sample:

<script>
<!--
onload = init;

function init() {
	if (init2() == false) {
		init3();
	} else {
		init4();
	}
}

function init2() {
	if ("me" == "you") {
		ret = true;
	} else {
		ret = false;
	}
return ret;
}

function init3() {
	alert("me doesn't equal you :\)");
}

function init4() {
	alert("me equals you..?");
}
//-->
</script>

Hi Supra

No, not at all! I am != you, as me is a pupil in Javascript but you are not it seems. So am I == U ?

I am just kidding.

I'll try with your given example, thank you very much for your reply.

SAHI,

note that a common mistake to make when taking the route Supra suggests is to make a string out of 'false'. For example:

function init() {
    if (init2() == 'false') {
        init3();
    } else {
        init4();
    }
}

This won't work if the function returns false, but WILL work if it returns 'false' (note the quotes).

What Supra suggests is correct, since there are no quotes. Just a heads-up to watch out.

Since they are boolean values being passed, you could also write:

function init() {
    if ([b]!init2()[/b]) {
        init3();
    } else {
        init4();
    }
}
