RocketLang v0.22.1 is released

· 2 min read

New Features​

elif Statement​

You can now use elif (also known as "else if") to create cleaner conditional logic with multiple conditions. This enhancement was contributed by MarkusFreitag in PR #198.

a = "test"
if a.type() == "BOOLEAN"
  puts("is a boolean")
elif a.type() == "STRING"
  puts("is a string")
elif a.type() == "INTEGER"
  puts("is an integer")
else
  puts("unknown type")
end

You can chain as many elif statements as needed, making complex conditional logic more readable and maintainable than nested if statements.

See If / elif / else for more information.
