false} *** I need this coded --don't hide --> must have a task ***

else{

true}



if(row["special"] == 'W' && row["metername"] != null){

false} *** I need this coded --don't hide --> must have task --> view ***

else if(row["special"] == 'W' true

else true}

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here, but if you're looking to just get your code here formatted validly, here you go:

if (row["special"] == 'W' && row["metername"] == null) {
    return false;
} else {
    return true;
}



if (row["special"] == 'W' && row["metername"] != null) {
    return false;
} else if (row["special"] == 'W') {
    return true;
} else {
    return true;
}

I'm not sure its the most practical code, but there you go.
