How to require multiple criteria for if statement

How would I be able to require multiple criteria in order for an if-then-else statement? In C# terms,
if(a && b){
return true;
} else{
return false;
}
Currently, the if-else statement evaluates it as true if at least one condition is met, which I do not want. Is there a way to work around this? Thanks

The way to do this is to flip your logic around. So…

  • If a is not true, then false
  • If b is not true, then false
  • Else true

PS. @ARandomBanana I used not true instead of false in that example for a reason. Columns will often have an initial state of empty. This is the case with boolean columns. A boolean column in its default new state (empty) will be neither true or false. So testing for not true covers both the default state (empty), and false.

Oh! Sorry, I’m not very good at thinking backward. Thanks for the help :smiley:
