Is it limited of using "if"?

Hello all:

I am coding a program, due to the situation is complicated, I used
several "if" in a row. I found that it is not allowed to use "if" repeatedly. Is this true? What's the rule to use "if"? --Zhao

Perhaps you simply made a syntax error. Show the smallest and simplest program that you expect to compile but which demonstrates this error. What is the error message, anyway?

From a language point of view - it's fine to string as many if statements together as you want.

Your local coding standards from your boss/tutor may however vary.

Perhaps you should post some kind of example.

Perhaps you're meant to simplify things as well, such as

Code:

---

if ( foo && bar )  {
  // stuff
}
if ( foo && baz ) {
  // stuff
}

---

becomes

Code:

---

if ( foo ) {
  if ( bar ) {
    // stuff
  }
  if ( baz ) {
    // stuff
  }
}

Perhaps you used many if's when you should have been using a switch statement. We wont ever know without seeing the code.
