I am not a correct output for the following script:

 

var floor == this.getField("Floor Location").value;
var storeys == this.getField("Storeys").value;
var zero, oneStorey, twoStoreys, none, B, M, S;

if (storeys == "One storey") {
  storeys = oneStorey;
}
if (storeys == "Two storeys") {
  storeys = twoStoreys;
}

if (floor == "B") {
  floor = B;
}
if (floor == "M") {
  floor = M;
}
if (floor == "2nd") {
  floor = S;
}

switch (true) {

  case ((storeys == twoStoreys) && (floor == B)):
    event.value = "17";
    break;
  case ((storeys == twoStoreys) && (floor == M)):
    event.value = "11";
    break;
  case ((storeys == twoStoreys) && (floor == S)):
    event.value = "1";
    break;
   case ((storeys == oneStorey) && (floor == B)):
    event.value = "11";
    break;
  case ((storeys == oneStorey) && (floor == M)):
    event.value = "1";
    break;
  default:
        event.value = floor;
        break;}

    Correct answer Khaliquzzaman Katchi

    You've made it unnecessarily complicated (and incorrect).

    See attached.


    Never mind I found the bug: the statement should be changed to 

    "else if((storeys == "Two storeys") && (floor == "2nd"))
    event.value = "1"

    Thank you for putting me in the right track.

    When you're assigning values to variables, you should use a single equal sign (=) instead of a double equal sign (==).

    Why so many variables in this line: var zero, oneStorey, twoStoreys, none, B, M, S;

    You don't use 'zero' or 'none' variable at all, you are setting floor variable to 'M' , 'B' or 'S' variable, but you didn't assign anything to them.

    I have made some corrections according to your comments but I still do not get the outputs I am looking for.

     

    I am also attaching the pdf file so that you can see the outcome.

      Thank you, that was a huge improvement over my script.

       

      However, the case "else if((storeys == "Two storeys") && (floor == "S"))
      event.value = "1";" does not respond. Could you help?

      Thank you
