How to define variable based on when condition

[sase kumar]

Hi Folks,

I'm new to ansible and I have got some confusion in when the statement

here is my playbook - 

 hosts: localhost

  gather_facts: false

  vars:

   nodetype: "DI"

  tasks:

  - name: concatenate

    set_fact:

     argu: "DI=1,DC=0,DP=0"

    when:  "{{ nodetype }}" == "DI"

    register: argu

    set_fact:

     argu: "DI=0,DC=1,DP=0"

    when: "{{ nodetype }}" == "DC"

    register: argu

  - debug:

     msg: "{{ argu }}"

This is just defining variable "argu" based on when condition ,I want to just build variable based on the input nodetype . but this is not working and always it prints the second argu(DI=0,DC=1,DP=0) value

Is this the right way or simpler way to achieve this?

Remove the `register` on those tasks. `set_fact` doesn't need this.
