Overview

if and else provide conditional execution of statements. For example:

if (fruit.IsYellow()) {
  Print("Banana!");
} else if (fruit.IsOrange()) {
  Print("Orange!");
} else {
  Print("Vegetable!");
}

This code will:

• Print Banana! if fruit.IsYellow() is True.
• Print Orange! if fruit.IsYellow() is False and fruit.IsOrange() is True.
• Print Vegetable! if both of the above return False.
