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