Objective-c Making levels for an iPhone game

Question

I have a question game in which I ask the user some questions and depending on how fast the user answers correctly and what level the user is in I want the user to get different amounts of xp/ progress for the progress view that I have.

So I have a global variable called 'levelInt' which holds the value of what level the user is in (max level is 20). I also have a label that prints the the 'levelInt' variable and a progress view that shows your progress for getting into higher level/shows progress for your current level. I also have a timer which counts down from 2 minutes and depending on how fast you answer this question you get more xp/more progress for the progress view. I set it up like this:

• totalSeconds is the timer

• levelInt is the global variable that hold the value of the level the user is in

• progressView is the progress bar the show the remaining xp until next level

and the code:

if ( levelInt == 0 && totalSeconds > 100){
    progressView.progress = .60;
}else if ( levelInt == 0 && totalSeconds <= 100 ){
    progressView.progress = .40;
}else if ( levelInt == 0 && totalSeconds > 80 ){
    progressView.progress = .20;
}else if ( levelInt == 0 && totalSeconds <= 80 ) {
    progressView.progress = .10;
}else {
    progressView.progress = .05;
}

if ( levelInt == 1 && totalSeconds > 100){
    progressView.progress = .55;
}else if ( levelInt == 1 && totalSeconds <= 100 ){
    progressView.progress = .35;
}else if ( levelInt == 1 && totalSeconds > 80 ){
    progressView.progress = .15;
}else if ( levelInt == 1 && totalSeconds <= 80 ) {
    progressView.progress = .05;
}else {
    progressView.progress = .02;
}

if ( levelInt == 2 && totalSeconds > 100){
    progressView.progress = .50;
}else if ( levelInt == 2 && totalSeconds <= 100 ){
    progressView.progress = .30;
}else if ( levelInt == 2 && totalSeconds > 80 ){
    progressView.progress = .10;

}else {
    progressView.progress = .02;
}

The problem is that whenever I answer correctly fast then the 20 seconds, the progress view only adds about .10. Should I do progressView.progress = progressView.progress + (amount)?

Answer 1

The first or the second statement will always validates true,
therefor the last three if statements will never be validated.
Numbers cannot validate false to both <= 100 and > 100.
Numbers validating false to > 100 are always <= 100.

if ( i > 100 ) 
{
    // All numbers above 100 
} 
else if ( i <= 100 ) 
{
    // All numbers lower than or equal to 100
} 
else if ( i > 80 ) 
{
    // Never reached
} 
else if ( i <= 80 ) 
{
    // Never reached
} 
else 
{
    // Never reached
}
