Example: Type in the following program:
IF 'x<3' THEN 'x^2' ELSE '1-x' END EVAL "Done" MSGBOX » »

x

and save it under the name 'f2'. Press
indeed available in your variable menu. Verify the following results:
0 @@@f2@@@ Result: 0
3.5 @@@f2@@@ Result: -2.5
These results confirm the correct operation of the IF...THEN...ELSE...END
construct. The program, as written, calculates the function
Note: For this particular case, a valid alternative would have been to use an
IFTE function of the form: 'f2(x) = IFTE(x<3,x^2,1-x)'
Nested IF...THEN...ELSE...END constructs
In most computer programming languages where the IF...THEN...ELSE...END
construct is available, the general format used for program presentation is the
following:
IF logical_statement THEN
program_statements_if_true
ELSE
program_statements_if_false
END
In designing a calculator program that includes IF constructs, you could start by
writing by hand the pseudo-code for the IF constructs as shown above. For
example, for program @@@f2@@@, you could write
J
1.2 @@@f2@@@ Result: 1.44
10 @@@f2@@@ Result: -9
⎧
