Performing operations by name in Selenium

I want to perform different operations based on nation name with Selenium. However, I think I'm making a mistake in the condition that the codes are not working. How can I meet this condition?

if (nationality.Trim()==("T.C."))
{
 var nationality = 
 drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/h4")).Text;
                    
 if (nationality.Trim()==("T.C."))                     
 {
     var val4 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]")).Text; 
     Thread.Sleep(3000);
     var val5 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]")).Text; 
     Thread.Sleep(3000);
     var val6 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[9]/div/div/div/input")).GetAttribute("value"); 
     Thread.Sleep(3000);
     var val7 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/h4")).Text; 
}
 else 
 {
 
     var val4 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath($"/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]")).Text; 
     Thread.Sleep(3000);
     var val5 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath($"/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]")).Text; 
     Thread.Sleep(3000);
     var val6 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath($"/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[9]/div/div/div/input")).GetAttribute("value"); 
     var val7 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath($"//html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/input")).GetAttribute("value");

It seems like you’re trying to perform operations based on the nationality, but the nationality variable is being used before it’s defined. You should move the line where you define the nationality variable to the top, before the if condition. Here’s how you can modify your code:

var nationality = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/h4")).Text;

if (nationality.Trim() == "T.C.")
{
    var val4 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]")).Text;
    Thread.Sleep(3000);
    var val5 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]")).Text;
    Thread.Sleep(3000);
    var val6 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[9]/div/div/div/input")).GetAttribute("value");
    Thread.Sleep(3000);
    var val7 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/h4")).Text;
}
else
{
    var val4 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]")).Text;
    Thread.Sleep(3000);
    var val5 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]")).Text;
    Thread.Sleep(3000);
    var val6 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[9]/div/div/div/input")).GetAttribute("value");
    Thread.Sleep(3000);
    var val7 = drv.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/form[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/input")).GetAttribute("value");
}

This should fix the issue you’re facing.
