Synopsis

if ( expression ) { }

or

if ( expression ) { } else { }

Description

The if construct is one of the most important features of many languages, the EasyUO scripting language included. It allows for conditional execution of code fragments.

As described in the section about expressions, expression is evaluated to its boolean value. If it evaluates to true, the next statement will be executed. If else is present and the expression evaluates to false, then the statement after else will be executed instead.

If %a > %b evaluates to true in the following code fragment, it will display "a is bigger than b"; if it evaluates to false, "a is equal or less than b" will be displayed instead:

set %a 100
set %b #random
if %a > %b
	display ok a is bigger than b
else
	display ok a is equal or less than b
halt

Often you would want to have more than one statement executed conditionally. Of course, there is no need to wrap each statement in an if clause. Instead, you can group several statements into a statement group. For example, if %a > %b evaluates to true in the following fragment, it would display "a is bigger than b" and would then assign the value of %a into %b; if it evaluates to false, "b is equal or bigger than a" would be displayed and the value of %b assigned into %a instead:

set %a 100
set %b #random
if %a > %b
{
	display ok a is bigger than b
	set %b %a
}
else
{
	display ok b is equal or bigger than a
	set %a %b
}
halt

Nesting Conditional Statements

if statements can be nested indefinitely within other if or else statements, which provides you with complete flexibility for conditional execution of the various parts of your script.

set %a #random % 3 + 1
if %a = 1
{
  display ok One
}
else
{
  if %a = 2
  {
    display ok Two
  }
  else
  {
    display ok Three
  }
}
halt
