if as a Statement and Expression

Branch and return values in one form.

Branching with if

Use if to choose between paths. Zig runs the first block when the condition is true and skips it otherwise. Simple and explicit. 🌿

if (score > 50) {
    std.debug.print("Pass\n", .{});
}

The condition in parentheses must be a real bool. Zig refuses integers or pointers here, so there is no truthy-or-falsy guessing.
