Merge initials conditional

If you're talking about skipping over entire  responses or records that meet certain criteria,   you're talking about something called a skip  if, and we'll cover that in a later lesson.   But, if you're talking about using values in  your data to conditionally display fields,   conditionally display entire  sections of a document,   or conditionally display some predetermined text,  you're talking about an if-then-else situation.   If some criteria is true, then do this, otherwise  or else, do this other thing. In field code view,   these types of conditionals follow a standard  format: they'll be inside curly braces,   and the first thing inside of the curly brace will  be the field name if, followed by the expressions   you're evaluating, your criteria, followed by  something called the true text, which is what you   want to do if the expressions evaluate to true,  so this is the then part of the if-then-else,   followed by something called the false text,  which is what you want to do if the expressions   evaluate to false, so this is the else part  of the if-then-else. To give a feel for how   the if-then-else works, and how it can be a  powerful tool, I'm going to work through some   simple conditionals that don't rely on any data,  but that build up to show you that true text and   false text don't always have to be text, and  what to do if you have multiple expressions   or criteria that you want to check, that is,  how to deal with logical ands and logical ors.   So, in field code view, our first if-then-else  will be if 5 is equal to 5, which it is,   display the word true, otherwise  display the word false.   If I preview results, you'll see that  we get the word true as expected. Now,   if I change my expression to be 6 equals 5, in  preview results we get the word false as expected.   What if when our expressions evaluate to false we  want to display nothing? I'll set the false text   to what's called empty string, that is, double  quotation marks with nothing inside of them,   not even a space. I'll put a label in front of  this one so you can see where it's supposed to go.   If I preview results, you can see there's  nothing being displayed after the label.   Now, those are all text examples. What about  returning numbers? In the world of computer   science, trues are usually represented  by the number one and falses as zeros,   so I'll change my true text and false text  to the digits one and zero accordingly.   So, if six is equal to five, display a  one, otherwise display a zero. And if   I preview results, you can see we get the  number zero. In each of these cases so far,   our evaluations have been pretty simple, but  real world evaluations are rarely this easy.   What if we want to see if two things are true at  the same time, like if 5 equals 5 and 6 equals...
