      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;That was asked and answered a lot. Try to replace the if cond then .. construction by the if is(cond) then ... construction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, compare&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if 2*474^(1/2) &amp;lt; 0 then print(1) else print(2) end if;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Error, cannot determine if this expression is true or false: 2*474^(1/2) &amp;lt; 0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;with&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if is(2*474^(1/2) &amp;lt; 0) then print(1) else print(2) end if;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There may be other errors in your code. In order to answer your question, the representation of your code as a text, not a picture,&amp;nbsp; would be useful. &lt;br&gt;Edit. The second sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PS. The above can be found by the "cannot determine if this expression is true or false" search in MaplePrimes at the top of this page.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>
