Perl IF statement
Perl if statement consists of a Boolean expression followed by one or more statements.
Grammar
The syntax format is as follows:
if(boolean_expression){
# In the Boolean expression boolean_ Execute when expression is true
}
If a Boolean expression boolean_expression for true , then if the block of code within the statement will be executed. If the Boolean expression is false , then if the first set of code at theend of the statement (after closing parentheses) is executed.
Flow chart
Example
#/ Usr/bin/perl $a=10# Use the if statement to determine the Boolean expression if ($a<20){#
When the Boolean expression is true, execute printf "a is less than 20 n";} The value of print 'a' is
: $a n "; $a=" "; # Use the if statement to determine the Boolean expression if ($a){#
Execute printf when the Boolean expression is true "variable a is true n";} The value of print 'a' is
: $a n ";
Execute the above program, and the output is as follows:
A less than 20
The value of a is: 10
The value of a is:
