If in Julia

In Julia, the if statement is used to create simple conditional statements that execute certain code depending on whether a condition is true or false.

The basic syntax for an if statement is as follows:

if CONDITION
    # Code to be executed if CONDITION is true
end

Here's an example:

x = 5

if x > 0

    println("x is positive")

end

If you want to provide an alternative block of code to execute if the condition is false, you can add an else statement:

x = -2
if x > 0
    println("x is positive")
else
    println("x is not positive")
end

The output will be x is not positive because the condition x > 0 is false.

If you have multiple conditions to check, you can use the elseif statement:

x = 0
if x > 0
    println("x is positive")
elseif x < 0
    println("x is negative")
else
    println("x is zero")
end

The output will be x is zero because x is not greater than or less than 0.
