The detailed semantics of "the" ternary operator as well as its syntax differs significantly from language to language. A top level distinction from one language to another is whether the expressions permit side effects (as in most procedural languages) and whether the language provides short-circuit evaluation semantics, whereby only the selected expression is evaluated (most standard ...
See also: the {{}} template. The #if function selects one of two alternatives based on the truth value of a test string. {{#if: test string | value if true | value if false}} As explained above, a string is considered true if it contains at least one non-whitespace character.
By definition, a code comment is text that is ignored by the translator – the browser, IE, in this case. But, the conditional comment feature adds syntax for a conditional statement that is formatted as a comment. Therefore, some text that is formatted as a comment is actually not a comment. It is markup code.
if discount < 11% then print (you have to pay $30) elseif discount<21% then print (you have to pay $20) elseif discount<31% then print (you have to pay $10) end if; In the example above, if the discount is 10%, then the first if statement will be evaluated as true and "you have to pay $30" will be printed out.
The convention when dealing with the dangling else is to attach the else to the nearby if statement, [2] allowing for unambiguous context-free grammars, in particular. Programming languages like Pascal, [ 3 ] C, [ 4 ] and Java [ 5 ] follow this convention, so there is no ambiguity in the semantics of the language , though the use of a parser ...
The API is usually specific to an application and incompatible to all others. So VBA-code written for MS-Office API can not be used in [[OpenOffice]} using the StarBasic-API for example, although StarBasic and VBA are very resemblant considering the language. Most software products (Autodesk AutoCAD / Microsoft Office / Adobe Illustrator ...
The following example is done in Ada which supports both early exit from loops and loops with test in the middle. Both features are very similar and comparing both code snippets will show the difference: early exit must be combined with an if statement while a condition in the middle is a self-contained construct.
If indenting the markup, care must be taken to avoid extra newlines when indenting "}}" on the next line. An extra bar pipe "|" can be added after the else-clause to complete that text, and allow "}}" to then be placed anywhere without adding a newline into the else-clause.
