TI-Basic 89 Programming/Conditional Functions

If

If, Control(F2):1 is a command which will determine whether or not the next line of code is executed.

Syntax: If

:If ''condition''
  • Where condition is an expression that resolves to be either true or false
    • If condition is true, then the code in the next line is executed. Otherwise that code is skipped.

Ex: If

5→x
If x=5
Disp "True"
True

If...Then blocks

If...Then...EndIf

If...Then...EndIf, Control(F2):2:1 is a group of commands which will determine whether or not a block of code is executed.

Syntax: If...Then...EndIf

:If ''condition'' Then
:''code-block''
:EndIf
  • Where condition is an expression that resolves to be either true or false
    • If condition is true, then the code in code-block is executed. Otherwise that code is skipped
  • Where code-block has one or more lines of code

Ex: If...Then...EndIf

5→x
If x=5 Then
7→y
Disp "Y is",y
EndIf
Y is
7

If...Then...Else...EndIf

If...Then...Else...EndIf, Control(F2):2:2 is a group of commands which will determine which of two blocks of code is executed.

Syntax: If...Then...Else...EndIf

:If ''condition'' Then
:''code-block 1''
:Else
:''code-block 2''
:EndIf
  • Where condition is an expression that resolves to be either true or false
    • If condition is true, then the code in code-block 1 is executed. Otherwise it skips to code-block 2
  • Where code-block 1 and code-block 2 each have one or more lines of code

Ex: If...Then...Else...EndIf

8→x
If x=5 Then
Disp "X is five"
Else
Disp "X is not five"
EndIf
X is not five


ElseIf...Then

ElseIf...Then, Control(F2):2:3 is a command in which could be used to add more than two code blocks in If...Then...EndIf code.

Syntax: ElseIf...Then

:If ''condition 1'' Then
:''code-block 1''
:ElseIf ''condition 2'' Then
:''code-block 2''
:EndIf
  • Where condition 1 and condition 2 are expressions that resolves to be either true or false
    • If condition n is true, then the code in the respective code-block n is executed. Otherwise it skips to the next ElseIf...Then statement, to a code-block between Else and EndIf, or straight to EndIf depending on how everything is setup.
  • Where code-block 1 and code-block 2 each have one or more lines of code

Ex: ElseIf...Then

8→x
If x=5 Then
Disp "X is five"
ElseIf x=8 Then
Disp "X is eight"
EndIf
X is eight


Ex: ElseIf...Then with Else

8→x
If x=5 Then
Disp "X is five"
ElseIf x=8 Then
Disp "X is eight"
Else
Disp "X is neither 5 nor 8"
EndIf
X is eight
