How to do conditional branching (IF statement)?

Conditional branching performs different actions depending on whether a specified boolean condition evaluates to true or false.

The block structure for IF statements in Subject7 is a lot like most programming languages:

IF ( boolean condition )

    ( consequent )

ELSEIF ( another boolean condition - optional )

    ( consequent )

ELSE

    ( alternative )

ENDIF

For example, in a Subject7 test, this would look like:

SET_VAR HALT Static first_name "Paul"

IF HALT TEXT "@first_name" = "John"

PRINT "first_name is John"

ELSE_IF HALT TEXT "@first_name" = "George"

PRINT "first_name is George"

ELSE

PRINT "first_name is not John or George"

END_IF

The following video goes over the same steps in a test case. Notice the order in which the conditions where met/not met:
