If Statement

if statements follow C syntax.

if foo(x) {
    print("It's true!");
} else if bar == baz {
    print("It's true again!");
} else if baz.is_foo() {
    print("Yet again true.");
} else if foo(bar - baz) {
    print("True again... this is getting boring.");
} else {
    print("It's finally false!");
}

Braces are mandatory

Unlike C, the condition expression does not need to be enclosed in parentheses (…), but all branches of the if statement must be enclosed within braces {…}, even when there is only one statement inside the branch.

Like Rust, there is no ambiguity regarding which if clause a branch belongs to.

// Rhai is not C!
if (decision) print(42);
//            ^ syntax error, expecting '{'
