making collision in pong

[programmeraie125]

okay i am making pong for uni for my first assigment and i cant get my collision
to work properly and as a result my ball wont bounce of my paddles...

here its the code for the collision.


//ball impact values below
//makes ball go bouncy bouncy
if (ballx < lefpaddle_2y && ballx > lefpaddle_2y && bally > lefpaddle_2y - 20 && bally < lefpaddle_2y + 120)
ballxspeed *= -1;


if (ballx + 40 > rightpaddle_1y && ballx + 40 < rightpaddle_1y && bally > rightpaddle_1y - 20 && bally < rightpaddle_1y + 120)
ballxspeed *= -1;

ballx < lefpaddle_2y && ballx > lefpaddle_2y

How can ballx be both greater than and smaller than lefpaddle_2y?

And shouldn't it be lefpaddle_2x as well.

Same with the rightpaddle part.

trying a differant approach than that last method i found alot of problems in it like the one you pointed out to me.

so now i gunna define the top right corner of the paddle and its hight and width..if the ball comes with in those boundaires it should impacted and bounce
