we can even mix to gain more clear code:
foo :=
if Condition1 then
iif(Condition2, ThenExpr1, ElseExpr1)
else
iif(Condition3, ThenExpr2, ElseExpr2);
much more readable than:
if Condition1 then
begin
if Condition2 then
foo := ThenExpr1
else
foo := ElseExpr1
end else
begin
if Condition3 then
foo := ThenExpr2
else
foo := ElseExpr2
end;
