If Statement
Use if to implement a conditional statement. The syntax of if statement has the
form:
if expression then statement1 [else statement2]
If expression evaluates to true then statement1 executes. If expression is false
then statement2 executes. The expression must convert to a boolean type; other-
wise, the condition is ill-formed. The else keyword with an alternate statement
(statement2) is optional.
There should never be a semicolon before the keyword else.
Nested if statements
Nested if statements require additional attention. A general rule is that the nested
conditionals are parsed starting from the innermost conditional, with each else
bound to the nearest available if on its left:
if expression1 then
if expression2 then statement1
else statement2
The compiler treats the construction in this way:
if expression1 then
begin
if expression2 then statement1
else statement2
end
In order to force the compiler to interpret our example the other way around, we
have to write it explicitly:
if expression1 then
begin
if expression2 then statement1
end
else statement2
