Batch - If Else statement not working correctly

Question

My batchfile outputs both IF and ELSE IF...

The code goes something like this:

 @echo off

    set food=0

        if %food%== LSS 1 (
            echo You have no food.
        ) else if %food%== GTR 1 (
            echo You have %food% food!
        )
pause

Can anyone help me out?

You don't say what you mean by "working properly"

== lss is not a valid comparison operator. If you mean less than or equal to, use LEQ

equally, GEQ for greater than or equal to

`==` = `equ` means equal
neq means not equal
lss less
leq less or equal
gtr greater
geq greater or equal

Well, I started with batch coding 2 weeks ago, and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing :P
