How to write Rules in Latex

Question

I want to add some logical rules in my paper

just to avoid confusion, I do not want to build rules

I want to display them in my paper

So I used equations terms

\begin{equation}
    $if word = “and” then remove word.$
    \label{Rule1}
\end{equation}

I want to see my paper something like this

if word = “and” then remove word. ................ (1)

How to do it?

\begin{equation} starts math mode, so the two $s inside of the equation environment will throw errors. It looks like you just started with LaTeX or are using it in a very unelegant manner, so it might be a good idea to read a good and concise introduction to get to know the basic concepts. You could, for example, visit https://www.learnlatex.org/ for this. After you learned basic LaTeX, you might want to take a look at packages for pseudocode. — Skillmon, Nov 10 '20 at 07:42
A short term workaround is to use \text{}: \text{if word} = \text{“and” then remove word.}. Also, search this site for "algorithm". To get you started have a look at algorithm, algorithmic, algorithmicx, algorithm2e, algpseudocode = confused. — Peter Grill, Nov 10 '20 at 08:31
View the list of packages at https://ctan.org/topic/pseudocode for a variety of potential packages to use. — Donald Arseneau, Nov 10 '20 at 08:51

A short term hack that will achieve the desired results is to use \text{}:

Note:

For a longer term solution, use a package that is specfically designed for algorithms. A good place to start is algorithm, algorithmic, algorithmicx, algorithm2e, algpseudocode = confused

Code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
    \text{if word} = \text{``and'' then remove word.}
    \label{Rule1}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
