Explanation

The if command lets you react to the result of an expression, or do something else if it doesn’t match.

You can have multiple commands after a then or else by starting a new line for each command. These commands will end at the next else, or end if.

You can nest a second if inside another if as its ifCommand or elseCommand. In that case it will count as a single command even though it spans multiple lines.

Parameters

condition

The condition to evaluate. If this condition is true, ifCommands will be run, otherwise elseCommands.

ifCommands

The commands to execute when condition is true.

elseCommands

The commands to execute when condition is false.
