 Conditionals in awk are modelled after C:
 <lang awk>if(i<0) i=0; else i=42</lang>
+For a branch with more than a single statement, this needs braces:
-including the ternary conditional
+<lang awk>
+if(i<0) {
+    i=0; j=1
+  } else {
+    i=42; j=2
+  }</lang>
+There is also the ternary conditional:
 <lang awk>i=(i<0? 0: 42)</lang>
