8.1.7.3 if Statement

This statement has the following look:
 
if boolean expression then
  statement
or with an alternative statement:
 
if boolean expression then
  statement1
else
  statement2

The `if' ... `then' statement consists of a boolean expression and a statement, which is conditionally executed if the evaluation of boolean expression yields true.

If `if' ... `then' ... `else' is concerned, statement1 is executed depending on boolean expression being true, otherwise statement2 is executed alternatively. Note: the statement before else must not finish with a semicolon.
