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