elixir with else
Using else
in Elixir
In Elixir, the else
keyword is not used in conditional statements like it is in some other programming languages. Instead, Elixir uses the do
and end
keywords to define blocks of code that should be executed when a condition is met. Here's an example of how to use conditional statements in Elixir:
if condition do
# code to execute if the condition is true
else
# code to execute if the condition is false
end
In this example, the code inside the if
block will be executed if the condition is true, and the code inside the else
block will be executed if the condition is false. The else
keyword is not explicitly used; it is implied by the structure of the if
statement.
Please note that Elixir also provides other conditional constructs like case
and cond
that can be used in different scenarios.
