if, else

Syntax

if ( <condition> )  <statement1>;

if ( <condition> )  <statement1>;

  else <statement2>;

Description

Use if to implement a conditional statement.

The condition statement must convert to a bool type. Otherwise, the condition is ill formed.

When <condition> evaluates to true, <statement1> executes.

If <condition> is false, <statement2> executes.

The else keyword is optional, but no statements can come between an if statement and an else.

In contrast to the C/C++ standard inside of the condition no variables may be defined and no assignments can be executed. That means the following is not possible:

if (int val = stoi("1")) or  // false

int val; if (val = stoi("1"))   // false        

Possible is:

if (stoi("1"))
