I want to get the minimum/lower plan under the below condition?

animesh123 — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 12:58:19 GMT

if Alpha=2 then plan =3;

if Alpha=3 then plan =1;

else if Alpha=4 then plan =0;

if Beta=2 then plan =2;

else Beta=3 then plan =1;

else if Beta=4 then plan =0;

I want to get the minimum/lower plan under the below condition? so as an answer I need beta here

if Alpha=2 then plan =3;

if Beta=2 then plan =2;

Assuming you have correctly calculated Alpha and Beta (and looking at your logic it appears it needs a little cleaning up), you could use:

plan = min(alpha, beta);

The code is correct plan=min (alpha, beta) will give the min of all alpha
and beta

I just need min condition when both alpha and beta hit 2

To get that, you will need to show more of the data. What you posted doesn't illustrate either variable "hitting 2".

The code is correct
plan=min (alpha, beta) will give the min of all alpha and beta
if Alpha=3 then plan =1;
else if Alpha=4 then plan =0;

if Beta=3 then plan =1;
else if Beta=4 then plan =0;

plan=min (alpha, beta) will give the min of all alpha and beta
Just required the min condition of the below code when both Alpha=2 and Beta=2

if Alpha=2 then plan =3;
if Beta=2 then plan =2;

If I understand you correctly, create two variables (plan_Alpha and plan_Beta) instead of one. Then it's easy to obtain the result you describe:

if alpha=beta=2 then plan = min(plan_alpha, plan_beta);
