you probably want to learn how to use the 'else' keyword.

if (a)
dosomething();
else if (b)
dosomethingelse();

the two are mutually exclusive. if a is true, it really doesn't care at all about b.

(technically, 'else if' is a combination of two separate constructs. that is, the second if is embedded within the else clause of the first if. thus you can just keep adding 'else if (foo)dosomeanotherthing();' on the end as many times as you want)

As a rule of thumb, first write your code to just work, in the cleanest(i.e. more legible) way possible; later, if after *measuring* you decide your code needs a better performance, you may try to rewrite the hot spots to improve performance.

if (foo)
fnar();
else
{
if (bar)
foobar();
else
smudge();
}

really doesn't matter whether that {} is there or not. makes absolutely no difference. same with the new line between the else and the if.
write it in whatever way is most readable. different people will naturally have different interpretations of 'most readable', but whatever.

Curious as to the reason why this keeps giving me a compile error.
Am i supposed to place Zufall in new brackets?

[Spike]

if you have more than one statement between the if and the else, you'll need to add braces (aka: curly brackets) around them.
