Explain various operators

Questions and Help
1

Hi Scott,
Thank you for the great video tutorial. I learned a lot about this great program with invaluable tips and guidance.

Of course after the tutorial there are so many more questions that come to mind.

This is one of them; in the snippet below, which I copied numerous times from an example you provided that allows one to make a numbered list from a menu can you explain the various operators such as "len", "count" and is "i" an operator or something you had designated and I simply copied?

{note}Eye Colour{formmenu: name=Eye_Colour; multiple=yes; Brown; Grey; Black; Blue; Green}{endnote}
{if: len(Eye_Colour) > 0 and count(Eye_Colour) > 0; trim=yes}
The group's eye colour includes:{repeat: for i in seq(1, count(Eye_Colour))}
{=i}. {=Eye_Colour[i]}{endrepeat}{endif: trim=left}

Sorry about this Scott (I am hoping the video will jog my memory)

But can you help with this scenario.

4 different drugs: Drug1, Drug2, Drug3, Drug4
9 reasons to stop them: Reason1, Reason2, Reason3, Reason4, Reason5, Reason6, Reason7, Reason8, Reason9

Reasons 1-3 Low risk reasons; Reasons 4-6 Moderate risk reasons; Reasons 7-9 High risk reasons;

Guidelines:
if Drug1 & Low risk reasons -> Guideline A
if Drug1 & Moderate risk reasons -> Guideline B
if Drug1 & High risk reasons -> Guideline C

if Drug2 & Low risk reasons -> Guideline D
if Drug2 & Moderate risk reasons -> Guideline D
if Drug2 & High risk reasons -> Guideline F

if Drug3 & Low risk reasons -> Guideline G
if Drug3 & Moderate risk reasons -> Guideline H
if Drug3 & High risk reasons -> Guideline I

if Drug4 & Low risk reasons -> Guideline J
if Drug4 & Moderate risk reasons -> Guideline K
if Drug4 & High risk reasons -> Guideline L

THEN dependent on Guidelines will determine which procedure:

If Guidelines A, D, G or J -> Procedure X
If Guidelines B, E, H or K -> Procedure Y
If Guidelines C, F, I or L -> Procedure Z

I know we touched on this but my memory is failing me.

Thanks in advance
George

So it's probably best to map something like this out sequentially.

Here is an approach to a slightly simplified scenario:

First define your source inputs:
Drug: {formmenu: Drug 1; Drug 2; name=drug}
Reason: {formmenu: Reason 1; Reason 2; Reason 3; Reason 4; name=reason}

Now let's define some intermediate variables to keep track of the risk:

{low_risk=includes(["Reason 1", "Reason 2"], reason)}
{mod_risk=includes(["Reason 3"], reason)}
{high_risk=includes(["Reason 4"], reason)}

Now let's determine the guidelines:

{guideline_a= drug == "Drug 1" and low_risk}
{guideline_b= drug == "Drug 1" and mod_risk}
{guideline_c= drug == "Drug 1" and high_risk}

{guideline_d= drug == "Drug 2" and low_risk}
{guideline_e= drug == "Drug 2" and mod_risk}
{guideline_f= drug == "Drug 2" and high_risk}

Now let's show the final procedure recommendation:

{if: guideline_a or guideline_b or guideline_d}
You should do procedure X
{elseif: guideline_c or guideline_e or guideline_f}
You should do procedure Y
{endif}
