-if/else
-=======
-
-``if``/\ ``else`` allows greater control over the flow of code than
-the basic :ref:`if <lang-if>` statement, by allowing multiple tests
-to be grouped together. For example, an :ref:`analog input
-<lang-analogread>` could be tested, with one action taken if the
-input was less than 500, and another action taken if the input was 500
-or greater. The code would look like this::
-
- if (pinFiveInput < 500) {
- // action A
- } else {
- // action B
- }
-
-``else`` can precede another ``if`` test, so that multiple, mutually
-exclusive tests can be run at the same time.
-
-Each test will proceed to the next one until a true test is
-encountered. When a true test is found, its associated block of code
-is run, and the program then skips to the line following the entire
-if/else construction. If no test proves to be true, the default
-``else`` block is executed, if one is present, and sets the default
-behavior.
-
-
-Note that an ``else if`` block may be used with or without a
-terminating ``else`` block, and vice-versa. An unlimited number of
-such ``else if`` branches is allowed. Here is a code example::
-
- if (pinFiveInput < 500) {
- // do Thing A
- } else if (pinFiveInput >= 1000) {
- // do Thing B
- } else {
- // do Thing C
- }
-
-Another way to express branching, mutually exclusive tests, is with a
-:ref:`switch/case <lang-switchcase>` statement.
