Combining if statements

[Cyclone_S]

Hi, I need some help combining these two blocks of if statements. Thanks.

if(segments_comp[head_comp]->panel->Left <= Food->Left)
{
if(segments_comp[head_comp]->panel->Top >= Food->Top){direction_comp =2;}
else{direction_comp=-1;}
}
else if(segments_comp[head_comp]->panel->Left >= Food->Left)
{
if(segments_comp[head_comp]->panel->Top >= Food->Top){direction_comp =2;}
else{direction_comp=1;}

}


if(segments\_comp\[head\_comp\]->panel->Top <= Food->Top)
{
 if(segments\_comp\[head\_comp\]->panel->Left <= Food->Left){direction\_comp =-1;}
 else{direction\_comp=-2;}
 
}
else if(segments\_comp\[head\_comp\]->panel->Top >= Food->Top)
{
 if(segments\_comp\[head\_comp\]->panel->Left >= Food->Left){direction\_comp =1;}
 else{direction\_comp=2;}
}

that code is pretty bad, you essentially overwrite direction_comp in the second set of if/else statements, therefore it doesn't matter what the first one does, so combining them is as easy as just keeping the second block

if(segments\_comp\[head\_comp\]->panel->Top <= Food->Top)
{
if(segments\_comp\[head\_comp\]->panel->Left <= Food->Left)
	direction\_comp =-1;
else
	direction\_comp=-2;
}
else
{
if(segments\_comp\[head\_comp\]->panel->Left >= Food->Left)
	direction\_comp =1;
else
	direction\_comp=2;
}

Thanks. That code works better.
