Or if else Statements

Flow-Wing supports or if to chain multiple conditional branches together, and else to handle the case where none of the conditions are true.

Example 1: First branch matches​

var x: int = 10
var y: int = 10

if (x == 10) {
  print("x is 10")
} or if (y == 20) {
  print("y is 20")
} else {
  print("neither condition matched")
}

Output:

x is 10

Example 2: or if branch matches​

var a: int = 5

if (a > 10) {
  print("greater than 10")
} or if (a > 3) {
  print("a is between 4 and 10")
} else {
  print("a is 3 or less")
}

Output:

a is between 4 and 10

or if is Flow-Wing's equivalent of else if in other languages. Conditions evaluate top-to-bottom; the first matching branch runs. This is called "short-circuit" evaluation.
