IF Statement

[dbomrrsm]

Just want confirmation on how if statements work.

If I have something like:

IF my_var < 10
THEN do something
elsif my_var < 100
THEN do something
else do something
end

if my_var was 9 this be picked up in the first evaluation ie the first if. That being the case my question is: Are the other elements of the if statement evaluated or will the process jump to the end of the code as soon as one of the ifs are met.

TIA

dbomrrsm,

it's all good except the last line, which should be

 end if;

For the sake of consistency I would capitalise the key words i.e.

IF my_var < 10
THEN do something
ELSIF my_var < 100
THEN do something
ELSE do something
END IF;

Thanks for the pointers but it wasnt the syntax I needed help on. It was how if operates and I have now proved for myself that the first if that is met will mean a jump to the end if.

Thanks anyhow.

It will execute the statements of the first true condition snd ignore the rest.
