Conditional

Sentient supports conditionals as expressions. Both the consequent and alternate must be provided and both branches will be evaluated, regardless of the return value of the conditional. Here’s an example:

a = if(someCondition, valueIfTrue, valueIfFalse);

This can be equivalently written as:

a = someCondition.if(valueIfTrue, valueIfFalse);

Or using a ternary form:

a = someCondition ? valueIfTrue : valueIfFalse;

See boolean for more information.
