Conditionals

If / Elif / El

DryLang uses if, elif, and el (else).

score = 85

if score > 80 {
    pt("Great job!")
} elif score > 50 {
    pt("Not bad")
} el {
    pt("Keep trying!")
}

Note: DryLang does not have a ternary conditional operator (? :). Syntax minimalism dictates that if/el or the null coalescing operator (??) is sufficient.

Additionally, the unknown keyword resolves to falsy:

data = unknown
if (data) {
    // skipped
} el {
    pt("Falsy!")
}

On (Switch)

The on statement replaces traditional switch. No case keyword — just value and block.

role = "admin"

on(role) {
    "admin" {
        pt("Access granted: Admin")
    }
    "user" {
        pt("Access granted: User")
    }
}
