Conditionals & Comparisons

if x then y else z

If/else statements
Like programming languages, Soulver supports conditionals. The main difference is that in Soulver a conditional is expressed over 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
You may omit the else statement
Comparison operators & booleans
Soulver supports standard "C" style comparison operators. Booleans are either true or false.
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
