Conditional control structure.
One-line syntax
You can write an IF ...
THEN control structure on one line, provided that the true part of the conditional is written just after the
THEN keyword.
In that case, the
THEN keyword is mandatory.
Short-circuit path
When you use several test expressions splitted by
AND IF keywords, then they are evaluated from left to right until the first
FALSE one is found, and then the test is
FALSE. If all expressions are
TRUE, then the test is
TRUE.
When you use several test expressions splitted by
OR IF keywords, then they are evaluated from left to right until the first
TRUE one is found, and then the test is
TRUE. If all expressions are
FALSE, then the test is
FALSE.
 |
All that is different from using AND or OR that always evaluate its arguments.

You cannot mix AND IF and OR IF keywords on the same line.

DIM k AS Integer
FOR k = 1 TO 10
IF k < 5 OR IF k > 5 THEN
PRINT k;;
ELSE
PRINT
PRINT "5 has been reached!"
END IF
NEXT
PRINT
1 2 3 4
5 has been reached!
6 7 8 9 10
If Pi > 0 Or If (1 / 0) > 0 Then Print "Hello"
If (Pi > 0) Or ((1 / 0) > 0) Then Print "World!"
Hello
