Conditionals¶

In Kiwi, there are a few constructs for conditional logic.

Conditions¶

A condition is a boolean expression that is passed to a control structure to execute code when the condition is satisfied.

If a condition is a non-boolean expression, it will be evaluated as a boolean if it is truthy or falsey.

The following table will illustrate this.

Type	Truthy Value	Falsey Value	Explanation
`integer`	`1`	`0`	A non-zero value is considered truthy.
`float`	`1.0`	`0.0`	A non-zero value is considered truthy.
`boolean`	`true`	`false`	These are the boolean values.
`string`	`"hello"`	`""`	A non-empty string is considered truthy.
`list`	`[1, 2, 3]`	`[]`	A non-empty list is considered truthy.
`hashmap`	`{"a": 1}`	`{}`	A non-empty hashmap is considered truthy.
