Conditions · 21 of 42

If

Conditions are almost the same as in imperative languages such as Java or C. However, one important thing to remember in Scala is that everything is an expression, even an if block.

The ternary operator (condition ? truePart : falsePart) in Scala is simply if (condition) truePart else falsePart.

if (true)
  println("no braces on a single expression")

if (1 + 1 == 2) {
  println("multiple")
  println("statements")
  println("require")
  println("braces")
} else {
  println("new math is found!")
  println("or your CPU went crazy")
}

val likeEggs = false
val breakfast =
  if (likeEggs) "scrambled eggs"
  else "Apple"

println(breakfast)
