Boolean (true/false) expressions are handled as one might expect, with one subtlety. A value of 'true' is actually the result any expression evaluating to a non-zero value. I believe this is handled the same as most programming languages, but thought it was worth noting anyway.
To illustrate:
Code:
(var x)
= x 0
(if(x) // evaluates to false
Print("True: x is non-zero")
)(else
Print("False: x is zero") // this will be output
)
= x 1
(if(x) // evaluates to true
Print("True: x is non-zero") // this will be output
)(else
Print("False: x is zero")
)
= x 9387
(if(x) // also evaluates to true
Print("True: x is non-zero") // this will be output
)(else
Print("False: x is zero")
)
