Conditionals | Repeating |
test ::= if | unless conditional ::= test | assume | XXX elsif ::= elsif else ::= else cond-statement ::= conditional [s] test-expression [s] spec [statements] [elsif [s] test-expression [s] spec [statements]]... [else [s] spec [s] [statements]] end [s conditional] [s]
Unless foo() is identical to if not(foo()).
Assume is a 'weighted if': the test is expected to succeed, so the
elsif and else code blocks are placed 'xxx', giving a slight
performance boost, but also make the default path much more clear.
