How would I do:

if(1 = 2)
      world << "1 is the same as 2!"

The = operator is for assignment; it assigns the value on the right side to the var on the left. The == operator is for testing if two things are equal.

if(1 == 2)
      world << "1 is the same as 2!"

mob
    verb
        Check()

            if(prob(50))//50% chance probabilty
                if(a + b == 200)//if variables a + b equal 200. use == to compate
                    src << "It equals 200!"//send a message to the person who used the verb
                else //else if they do not equal 200
                    src << "Error"//send this message
            if(prob(50))//the other 50% chance. could also just be replaced with else in this situation
                if(a == 100)
                    src << "It equals 100!"
                else
                    src << "Error"
/var/a = 100
/var/b = 100

Another question.

How would I do:(Putting a limit and a minimum on something.)

mob/verb/set_1(S as text)
       1 = S limit = 3 min = 1

Just as a side note, you can't assign variables where the first character is a number. Also, since you want "S" to be a number, it's best to set it to only accept numbers.

As for your minimum/maximum question, there are conveniently two procs that do just that: max() and min().

So putting the above to work, you'd get something like...

mob/verb/set_1(S as num)
  var/_1 = max(1, min(S, 3))
