The array element on the left side of the "=" sign is assigned the current value of the variable, "name". if answer = "quit" then stop This example illustrates a "conditional" expression. If the value of the variable "answer" is "quit", the expression evaluates to "true" and the statement following the "then" condition is executed. |
