Conditionals

Conditionals in Tony are similar to most other programming languages.

As discussed in the first chapter, as Tony is expression-oriented, conditionals always return a value. You can therefore use the result of a conditional directly in an assignment.

cond := true

otherCond := false

# returns 'true'

if cond then 'true' else 'false'

# value := 'hello'

value :=

if cond

'hello'

else if otherCond

'world'

else

'...'
