If Statements

Based on a boolean opperator, then executes a certain branch of code 

1
2
3
4
5
if (a > b) {
    println("Greater");
} else {
    println("Less than or equal to")
}

Extra conditions can also be chained on failure of proceeding cases 

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
    if (a % 5 == 0) {
        println ("Multiple of 5");
    } elif (a % 3 == 0) {
        println ("Multiple of 3");
    } elif (a % 2 == 0) {
        println ("Even number)
    }

The elif statement must always proceed either an if statement or another elif statement. The else statement may only follow an if statement. However neither elif, nor else is required for a valid if statement.
