Section 7.4 The `if-else-end` command

Here is the general syntax in MATLAB of the if-else-end command:

if condition
    command
    command
    ...
else
    command
    command
    ...
end

Let’s get back to our previous example but expand it with an else case:

answer = input('How much chocolate have you had today (1-10)? ');
if answer<5
   disp('Oh no! Be sure to eat more chocolate!');
else
   disp('Good for you. But have some more anyway!');
end

Here is what happens when you run this script and the user enters a number at least 5:

How much chocolate have you had today (1-10)? 6
Good for you. But have some more anyway!

Of course the program still acts the same way as before for a user input of less than 5.
