Firescript language

if...else statement
===================

The **if** statement executes a `statement` if `condition` is *truthy*. If the `condition` is *falsy* the optional `alternate` condition gets executed.

Syntax
------

```
if [condition]
  [statement]
else
  [alternate]
```

The **else** block is optional.  

The **elif** keyword adds alternate conditions.

```
if [condition]
  [statement]
elif [condition2]
  [statement]
elif [condition3]
  [statement]
else
  [alternate]
```
