List the conditional structures offered by a programming language. See Wikipedia: conditionals for descriptions.

Common conditional structures include if-then-else and switch.

Less common are arithmetic if, ternary operator and Hash-based conditionals.

Arithmetic if allows tight control over computed gotos, which optimizers have a hard time to figure out.



if (c1) {
  // first condition is true...
} elif (c2) {
  // second condition is true...
} elif (c3) {
  // third condition is true...
} else {
  // none was true...
}
