It is similar to the default keyword in another programming languages.
Ruby if then else.
So they should look something like the following.
The case statement is a multiway branch statement just like a switch statement in other languages.
The values false and nil are false and everything else are true.
In ruby they are created by writing the if keyword followed by a condition optionally followed by the then keyword then the code you want to execute if the condition is true and then finally the end keyword to end the structure.
In this post you will learn a few different use cases and how it all really works under the hood.
The then is optional.
If var 10 print variable is 10 elsif var 20 print variable is 20 else print variable is something else end.
Ternary syntax is the same in ruby as most languages.
The components of a case statement in ruby.
Ternary shortened if statement syntax.
In other programming languages this is known as a switch statement.
Ruby exceptions the execution and the exception always go together.
Whenever you need to use some if elsif statements you could consider using a ruby case statement instead.
This is where else statements come in.
If you are opening a file which does not exist then if you did not handle this situation properly then yo.
It provides an easy way to forward execution to different parts of code based on the value of the expression.
Executes code if the conditional is true.
If the conditional is not true code specified in the else clause is executed.
X 10 if x 8 puts x is greater than 8 end.
Ruby has some amazing shorthands for if then else statements.
H ruby abc rb x is greater than 8.
Notice ruby uses elsif not else if nor elif.
If the test expression evaluates to a true then the then expression is evaluated.
H ruby abc rb x is greater than 8.
You re saying if this is not true then do this.
You can also add an else expression.
Note that else if is actually spelled elsif without the e.
These shorthands beautifully consolidate three or more lines of code into one readable line of code.
An if expression s conditional is separated from code by the reserved word then a newline or a semicolon.
After an if.
The if else statement.
If stock 1 puts sorry we are out of stock else puts thanks for your order end.
You can also say if this is not true then do this other thing.
