Note that in BASIC the boolean_expression is delimited by the IF and the
THEN keywords. In ’C’ the parentheses delimit the expression. In ’C’ , the
")" is the implied THEN. In BASIC the END IF keyword terminates a
multi-line IF. In ’C’, the if is terminated at the end of the following statement
when no else clause is present, or at the end of the statement following the
else clause. Figure 5-2 shows examples of these forms:
Simplest form (used often)
Two-line form (not recommended; use
multiple line form instead)
Multiple line form (used often)
Multiple line form with else (used often)
