Condition in LobsterLang is written this way:
# basic if
if [condition] {|
[expression when true]
|}
# if and else
if [condition] {|
[expression when true]
|} else {|
[expression when false]
|}
# if and else if and else
if [condition] {|
[expression when true]
|} else if [2nd condition] {|
[expression when true]
|} else {|
[expression when false]
|}
The [condition]
must be a boolean, or an expression resulting in a boolean otherwise it will result in an error.
The [expression when true]
and [expression when false]
are the expression to evaluated when the condition is either true
or false
.
When there isn't a else block, the if expression will return nothing, as such it cannot be used as a value.
foo = 5 # store the result of a function `function`
if foo == 5 {|
"foo equal 5"
|} else {|
"foo doesn't equal 5"
|} # returns "foo equal 5"
foo = 8
a = if foo == 5 {|
"foo equal 5"
|} else {|
"foo doesn't equal 5"
|}
a # return "foo doesn't equal 5"
a = if foo == 5 {|
"foo equal 5"
|} # throw an error due to assignment with no value
