if Statement Problem

[faceguy1]

Hey Guys,

For this game I am creating, there are many loops involved and if statements involved that determine where to go in my point-click RPG. Take a look at the code:

if (iX>=100 && iY>=45 && iX<=300 && iY<=160)
// iX and iY are the coordinates of a bottom that goes to another screen when clicked
{
// East Area (-1,0)
// The coordinates are to resemble the 2nd quadrant of a graph; you can only go
// east and north
testWindow.DrawString(220,300, "(-1,0)");
testWindow.DrawRectangle(0, 0,600, 440);
testWindow.SetPen(WHITE, 0);
testWindow.SetBrush(WHITE);
if (iX>=100 && iY>=45 && iX<=300 && iY<=160)
// This is where the problem is. What I'm trying to do is to have the same bottom
//location but when I have this, it would just write (-2,0) over the (-1,0)
// East Area (-2,0)
testWindow.DrawString(220,300, "(-2,0)");
testWindow.DrawRectangle(0, 0,600, 440);
testWindow.SetPen(WHITE, 0);
testWindow.SetBrush(WHITE);
}

By the way, I am using Codewarrior C++ with CMU Graphics Lab, and if any of you guys are, that would be great.

Please use code tags:

if (iX>=100 && iY>=45 && iX<=300 && iY<=160)
// iX and iY are the coordinates of a bottom that goes to another screen when clicked
{
   // East Area (-1,0)
   // The coordinates are to resemble the 2nd quadrant of a graph; you can only go
   // east and north
   testWindow.DrawString(220,300, "(-1,0)");
   testWindow.DrawRectangle(0, 0,600, 440);
   testWindow.SetPen(WHITE, 0);
   testWindow.SetBrush(WHITE);
   if (iX>=100 && iY>=45 && iX<=300 && iY<=160)
      // This is where the problem is. What I'm trying to do is to have the same bottom
      //location but when I have this, it would just write (-2,0) over the (-1,0)
      // East Area (-2,0)
      testWindow.DrawString(220,300, "(-2,0)");
   testWindow.DrawRectangle(0, 0,600, 440);
   testWindow.SetPen(WHITE, 0);
   testWindow.SetBrush(WHITE);
}

What is the purpose of the nested 'if'?

You're telling two things to draw in the same location. Why wouldn't they draw in the same location?

Your if statements looks the same..
