are all good except that they are very common English words. They
might already be used by users in existing function names in their code.
I prefer
V := If Condition then ThenExpr else ElseExpr;
+1
(for me is "if ... then ... else" also good understandable and looks nice;
plus if it has precendence in other language (Oxygene) it is advantage
also)
Plus it has precedenence in at least some ALGOL implementations (a quick
read of my fading manual doesn't show whether it was still in ALGOL W).
I've never understood why it was omitted from Pascal, although
somebody's comment about operator priority and the heavy going that some
texts make of describing nesting suggest that there are hazards, at
least for people who aren't already familiar with the language.
