Solution for "greater than this and less than this" ?

[Acewell]

Hi i am trying to read an integer and maintain a multiple of 4,
i need something like this but is invalid syntax in Quickbms

Code: Select all

get var long
if var < 4 
    var = 4
elif var > 4 and < 8
    var = 8
elif var > 8 and < 12
    var = 12
endif

Code: Select all

elif var greater than this and less than this
    var equals this

so is there another way to put that so it works in a bms script?
thanks for any help!


edit
nevermind i found another way

Code: Select all

get var long
xmath check "var % 4" 
if check == 3
    math var + 1
elif check == 2
    math var + 2
elif check == 1
    math var + 3
endif

another shorter way

Code: Select all

get var long
xmath check "var % 4" 
if check != 0
    xmath var "var - check + 4"
endif

and even yet shorter way

Code: Select all

get var long
math var x 4

Your original solution was ok except that you forgot to repeat "var" in the second check:
elif var > 4 and var < 8
