# If-Else statement
|
||||
An if-else statement lets you specify which portions to code the interpreter must run based on the result of an expression.
|
||||
|
||||
The syntax of an if-else statement is the following:
|
||||
```py
|
||||
if condition: {
|
||||
# Executed when the condition is true
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
# Executed when the condition is false
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The condition may be any type of expression, but must evaluate to a boolean type. No implicit casts are performed.
|
||||
|
||||
When the `else` block is empty, in can me omitted:
|
||||
```py
|
||||
if condition: {
|
||||
# Executed when the condition is true
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the blocks only contain one statement, it's possible to omit the curly brackets:
|
||||
```py
|
||||
if condition:
|
||||
doSomething();
|
||||
else
|
||||
doSomethingElse();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## If-else chains
|
||||
Since curly brackets can be dropped for blocks with only one statement, the following code:
|
||||
```py
|
||||
if cond0: {
|
||||
doSomething();
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
if cond1: {
|
||||
doSomethingElse();
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
doSomethingDumb();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
can be simplified to
|
||||
```py
|
||||
if cond0: {
|
||||
doSomething();
|
||||
} else if cond1: {
|
||||
doSomethingElse();
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
doSomethingDumb();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
creating a chain of if-else statements.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compound statements
|
||||
Actually the meaning of the curly brackets is to group multiple statements into one.
|
||||
|
||||
The if-else statement expects only one statement for each branch, though it's possible to provide more than one statement each by wrapping them into curly brackets.
