In Ruby, the if statement looks like this

1
2
3
4
5

val = 1

if val == 1
  p "Equality Checked!"
end

And for if else

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

val = 2

if val == 1
  p "Equality Checked!"
else
  p "Equality Unchecked!"
end

And for if, else if, else

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

val = 2

if val == 1
  p "Equality Checked!"
elsif val == 2
  p "Equality Middle Checked!"
else
  p "Equality Unchecked!"
end

Also, remember that everything in ruby returns a value, so your if statement can return a value that could be stored in another variable.

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

val = 2

# store the returned value from the if statement
ret_val = if val == 1
  p "Equality Checked!"
else
  p "Equality Unchecked!"
end

p ret_val # => "Equality Unchecked!"
