New to AnyLogic and trying to create conditional, if-then equations within flow elements.
For example, I would like the flow of ‘police_graduates’ to be 10, on the condition that the stock of ‘Police’ is less than 7500; if the stock surpasses 7500, I would like the flow of ‘police_graduates’ to be 5.
I entered the following equation into the equation field of the flow properties:
if( Police<7500 )
10
else
5
But the model does not run and I get the following error message:
Error during model creation:
ERROR during variable generation:
Couldn't parse expression for police_graduates - Flow: syntax error.
Please check expressions of this variable.
java.lang.RuntimeException: ERROR during variable generation:
Couldn't parse expression for police_graduates - Flow: syntax error.
Please check expressions of this variable.

Is there something wrong with the syntax in which I’ve written the equation?
you have to use the following format:
Police<7500 ? 10 : 5
or you can use a function that returns a double
function(Police)
and the function would have the following
if(Police<7500) return 10.0;
else return 5.0;
