Conditionals

Choose a branch of logic based on a condition.
For an overview on conditionals in WayScript, refer to the Introduction to Conditionals.
​ Condition Block
You will use this block to define a logic expression.
To create a logic expression, you will typically define values for the two Variable fields and then select how you want to compare them using the Comparison field.
The Condition Block consists of a Variable and a Comparison (often to the value of another Variable).
Some comparisons, such as "Has Increased," "Has Decreased," "Has a Value," or "Does Not Have a Value," do not require a second variable input.
​🔎 Comparison Field
After defining a value for the first Variable, you can select an option for the Comparison field.
Select a Comparison Option
You will not be able to select a value for the Comparison field until a value for the first Variable has been defined.

​🔠 Case Sensitive Comparison
For non-Number fields, you will have the option to compare in a Case Sensitive manner. (Default comparison is Case Insensitive.)
​📈 "Changed By" Comparisons
For "Changed By," "Increased/Decreased By," and similar comparisons, you can optionally choose the amount by which you want to check the value has changed. You can also choose whether to compare to the Original Value of the variable, or the Last (most recent) Value.
To see the "Since" field, click the "Show Advanced Settings" checkbox.
​➕ Adding Multiple Conditions
By pressing the + Add Condition button, you can add additional conditions.
​💡 Logical Operators
And: Use if you want your expression to evaluate to True only when both conditions are True.
Or: Use if you want your expression to evaluate to True when at least one of your conditions are True.
​ If / Else-If / Else
The If branch will run if your logic expression evaluates to True.
The Else-If branch will run if the proceeding logic expression evaluates to False, but the logic expression in the current Else-If branch evaluates to True.
The Else branch will run if all of the proceeding logic expressions evaluate to False.
In the image above, if Temperature is greater than or equal to 90, the first branch will run. Otherwise, if the temperature is less than or equal to 65, the second branch will run. Finally, if the temperature is less than 90, but greater than 65, the else branch will run.
Click the + Add "Else If" button to add more Else-If conditions.
​🌤 Example
In the below example, if the value of the variable "Temperature" is between 65 and 90, then the program will print "It's a nice day!".
Else, if the "Temperature" variable is outside of this range, then the program will print "It's too cold!".
The program will then continue to run the rest of the modules following the If / Else statement.
