If-Else Statement in Kotlin

Definition

The if statement is used to check a condition. If the condition mentioned in the if the condition is true, then the block of code inside the if block is executed, otherwise the block of code inside the else part is executed.

Syntax

if(condition){
	//Block of code
}else{
	//Block of code
}

If..else statement

These expressions can also be written as blocks as,

var num = 5
var maximum = 10
val max = if(num>maximum){
	num
} else {
	maximum
}

In the above statements, the condition is checked and the maximum value is assigned to the “max” variable.
