Assign this or that in Scala

In Scala, the "if-else" expression can be used to assign either "this" or "that" to a variable based on a condition.

The general syntax is:

val variableName = if(condition) thisValue else thatValue

Here's an example:

val number = 10
val result = if(number > 5) "this" else "that"
println(result) // Output: "this"

The variable "result" is assigned to "this" because the condition "number > 5" is true. If the condition was false, "result" would have been assigned to "that".

In this example, the condition was a simple comparison operator, but it could be any valid condition in Scala.
