Re: Evaluate Statement

Should you place or instead of , between values?

I have a question on the use of the Evaluate Statement. I have been
trying to evaluate 4 variables at once. I tried this format and the
compiler yelled at me. Any suggestions?

A good landing is one you can walk away from,
A great landing is one where you can rent the plane afterwards.
When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.
