Nested $ conditionals |
Top Previous Next |

$ conditions can be nested. The term $(logicalcondition1$( logicalcondition2)) can also be written as $( logicalcondition1 and logicalcondition2). For nested $ conditions, all succeeding expressions after the first $ must be enclosed in parentheses. Consider the following example (complexcond.gms),
u(k)$(s(k)$t(k)) = a(k) ;
The assignment will be made only for those members of k that are also members or associated with data in both s and t. Note the position of the parenthesis in the $ condition. The statement above can be rewritten as
u(k)$(s(k) and t(k)) = a(k) ;
To assist with the readability of statements, one should usually employ the operator and instead of nesting dollar operators. |
