Conditional Statement

Syntax: if ( Expression ) Statement

Semantics: The expression must be of type boolean. If it evaluates to true, the given statement is executed, otherwise not.

Note that there is only one statement. To execute more than one statement conditionally, a block statement is to be used.

The Code Conventions by Sun (which belong to our coding standards) require that a block statement is always to be used, independent from the number of statements that are to be executed conditionally.

In addition, our coding standard expects following layout:
if ( Expression ) {
    Statement₁
    Statement₂
    ...
}

      string += dollars;       if (cents != 0) {          string += ".";          if (cents < 10) {             string += "0";          }          string += cents;       }
