Kernel.if
You're seeing just the macro
if, go back to Kernel module for more information.
Provides an if/2 macro.
This macro expects the first argument to be a condition and the second argument to be a keyword list.
One-liner examples
if(foo, do: bar)In the example above, bar will be returned if foo evaluates to
a truthy value (neither false nor nil). Otherwise, nil will be
returned.
An else option can be given to specify the opposite:
if(foo, do: bar, else: baz)Blocks examples
It's also possible to pass a block to the if/2 macro. The first
example above would be translated to:
if foo do
bar
endNote that do/end become delimiters. The second example would
translate to:
if foo do
bar
else
baz
endIn order to compare more than two clauses, the cond/1 macro has to be used.
