If-Else

Branching with if and else in Go is straight-forward.

You can have an if statement without an else

A statement can precede conditionals; any variables declared in this statement are available in all branches.

for var x:=0, y:=3 {
  x = 3
  y = 10
  // i.e. variables declared in this statement are available in all branches
}

Parentheses () are not needed around conditions but code block must be enclosed by {}

There is no ternary if in Go, therefore you must use a full if statement even for basic conditions
