ruby if statement multiple conditions
The Ruby programming language allows you to use multiple conditions in an if statement. Here is an example:
if condition1 && condition2
# code to be executed if both condition1 and condition2 are true
elsif condition3 || condition4
# code to be executed if either condition3 or condition4 is true
else
# code to be executed if none of the conditions are true
end
Explanation:
- The
if
keyword is used to start the if statement. condition1
andcondition2
are the conditions that need to be evaluated. The&&
operator is used to check if both conditions are true.- If both
condition1
andcondition2
are true, the code inside the first block will be executed. - If
condition1
andcondition2
are not both true, the program will move to theelsif
section. condition3
andcondition4
are the conditions that are checked using the||
(or) operator. If eithercondition3
orcondition4
is true, the code inside theelsif
block will be executed.- If none of the conditions in the
if
andelsif
sections are true, the code inside theelse
block will be executed. - The
end
keyword is used to close the if statement.
This allows you to have multiple conditions in your if statement and execute different blocks of code based on the evaluation of those conditions.
