<H3><A NAME="M4">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
The <I>if</I> command evaluates <I>expr1</I> as an expression (in the
same way that <B><A HREF="../TclCmd/expr.htm">expr</A></B> evaluates its argument).  The value of the
expression must be a boolean
(a numeric value, where 0 is false and
anything is true, or a string value such as <B>true</B> or <B>yes</B>
for true and <B>false</B> or <B>no</B> for false);
if it is true then <I>body1</I> is executed by passing it to the
Tcl interpreter.
Otherwise <I>expr2</I> is evaluated as an expression and if it is true
then <B>body2</B> is executed, and so on.
If none of the expressions evaluates to true then <I>bodyN</I> is
executed.
The <B>then</B> and <B>else</B> arguments are optional
``noise words'' to make the command easier to read.
There may be any number of <B>elseif</B> clauses, including zero.
<I>BodyN</I> may also be omitted as long as <B>else</B> is omitted too.
The return value from the command is the result of the body script
that was executed, or an empty string
if none of the expressions was non-zero and there was no <I>bodyN</I>.
