* The if else statement:
LPC's if statement is identical to that provided by C. Syntax is as follows:
if (expression)
statement;
Alternately:
if (expression) {
statements;
}
Alternately:
if (expression0) {
statements;
} else {
statements1;
}
Alternately:
if (expression0) {
statements0;
} else if (expression1) {
statements1;
}
The number of else clauses is not explicitly limited.

Another favorite programming construct is the ? : operator, which also
operates identical to C. The syntax is:
expression0 ? expression1_if_true : expression2_if_false
In some cases, ? : is an shorter way of expression constructs such as:
if (expression0)
var = expression1;
else
var = expression2;
which can be equivalently translated to:
var = expression0 ? expression1 : expression;
