Example

The following example uses the logical AND (&&) operator to perform a test to determine if a

player has won the game. The

turns variable and the score variable are updated when a

player takes a turn or scores points during the game. The script shows "You Win the Game!"

in the Output panel when the player's score reaches 75 or higher in 3 turns or less.

var turns:Number = 2;

var score:Number = 77;

if ((turns <= 3) && (score >= 75)) {

trace("You Win the Game!");

} else {

trace("Try Again!");

}

// output: You Win the Game!
