Generating two different values subject to different conditions for hidden value

Users

Hie guys,

I want to allocate a particular value to a question id subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditons.

For example, i have a field called malnutrition_class.

if the patient has a MUAC of below 115 that chils should automatically be
classified as 'Severe' and if the MUAC > 115 it can be 'Moderate'.

how do i put these if conditions to allocate the appropriate value probably
to a single hidden value.

Please Help

Eva..

Hi Eva,

CommCare supports a robust logic framework which should allow you to build
an expression that meets your needs.

You should be able to write an if() expression
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Functions#CommCareFunctions-if
into
your hidden value's calculate field which allows the value to be set
conditionally based on other questions. You can nest XPath expressions if
needed for more powerful capabilities.

Hie Clayton,

Thanks for that.

Thats precisely what I'm looking for; if-then-else statements.

Any chance you can assist me with the syntax or refer me to written
material that I can reference.

I have more experience programming in Oracle and Commcare is quite new to
me.

Kind regards,

Eva

Hi Eva,

This CommCare Functions documentation
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Functions
that Clayton linked to should give you a great foundation to start off with
for how to implement a wide variety of logical and mathematical statements
in CommCare.

Cheers,
Aliza

Hi Eva,

To add some additional info to Aliza's response, the wiki linked also has a
fair amount of documentation which you may find helpful as examples, like
