i'm trying to minimize my if statement. i have the following which works:

([currentDesktopBackgroundImage isEqualToString:secondPath]))

		else
		{
		//Go South

-=-=-=-

i'd like to remove the else part but the following doesn't work:

-=-=-=-
	if ((![currentDesktopBackgroundImage isEqualToString:firstPath]) ||
(![currentDesktopBackgroundImage isEqualToString:secondPath]))
		{
		//Go South
		}
-=-=-=-

wtf?

Your two statements are not equivalent. In your first version, you go north if either comparison is true, and south only if *both* comparisons are false. In the second, you go south if *either* comparison is false.


For the second statement to be equivalent to the first, it needs to use && instead of ||.
