nnetemaaka

Converts a number or text into nnete or maaka.

For a number: 0 becomes maaka, and any other number — including a negative one — becomes nnete.

For text: only the English word "true" yields nnete. Capitals do not matter — "true", "True" and "TRUE" all yield nnete. Every other string yields maaka, including "nnete", "1" and "ee". This is because p5 compares the text against the English word; it is a thing to know, not a mistake on your part.

Given a list, it returns a list of nnete/maaka values of the same length.

Syntax

nnetemaaka(boleng)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
boleng	sengwe	A number or text. A list of those is also accepted.

Examples

A number that becomes a decision

tiro setaLoeto() {
  thalaKanefase(400, 400);
  bokamorago(220);
  tlogelaMothalo();

  diri boleng = nnetemaaka(1);
  kwala(boleng);

  fa (boleng === nnete) {
    tlatsaMmala(0, 180, 90);
  } gongwe {
    tlatsaMmala(200, 40, 40);
  }
  kgolokwe(200, 200, 220);
}

Only "true" yields nnete

tiro setaLoeto() {
  thalaKanefase(400, 400);
  bokamorago(220);
  tlogelaMothalo();

  diri a = nnetemaaka("true");
  diri b = nnetemaaka("nnete");

  kwala(a);
  kwala(b);

  // Lebokoso la molema le tala; la moja le khibidu
  fa (a === nnete) {
    tlatsaMmala(0, 180, 90);
  } gongwe {
    tlatsaMmala(200, 40, 40);
  }
  thalaKhutlonne(60, 150, 120, 100);

  fa (b === nnete) {
    tlatsaMmala(0, 180, 90);
  } gongwe {
    tlatsaMmala(200, 40, 40);
  }
  thalaKhutlonne(220, 150, 120, 100);
}
