Conditionals & Comparisons
if x then y else z
Like most programming languages, Soulver supports conditionals, (also known as "if statements").
In Soulver, a conditional is expressed on a single line:
earnings = $45k | $45,000.00
if earnings > $30k then tax = 20% else tax = 5%
My tax paid: earnings × tax | $9,000.00
Declare a variable using a conditional
income = $35k
expenses = $21.5k
profitable = true if income > expenses | true
insolvent = false unless expenses > income | false
Using "and" and "or" in conditionals
BMI = 24
Underweight = BMI < 18.5 | false
Healthy Weight = BMI >= 18.5 and BMI < 25 | true
Overweight = BMI >= 25 and BMI < 30 | false
Obese = BMI >= 30 | false
&& and || are also supported
Soulver supports standard "C" style comparison operators. A boolean value (
true or false) is returned).Name | Operator |
Equal to | == |
Not equal to | != |
Greater than | > |
Less than | < |
Greater than or equal to | >= |
Less than or equal to | <= |
You may assign a variable a boolean value directly
cost = $500
discount = true
if discount then cost = cost - 10%
cost | $450.00
You can also use comparison operators outside if statements
20km == 20,000 m | true
11:30 am < 9:30 am | false
