Conditional structures/Ruby: Difference between revisions

Note that <code>if...end</code> is an expression, so its return value can be captured in a variable:

<lang ruby>

s = 'yawn'

result = if s == 'Hello World'

:foo

elsif s == 'Bye World'

:bar

else

:deus_ex

end

# result now holds the symbol :deus_ex</lang>
