In Scheme a conditional statement just looks like this:
(if condition
expression-a
expression-b)
If the condition evaluates to “#t” then “expression-a” is evaluated.
Otherwise “expression-b” is evaluated. “expression-a” and
“expression-b” can be something more complicated, too:
(if (zero? number)
;; "then" ...
(let ((name "swedebugia"))
(format #t "The number was zero, ~a.\n" name))
;; "else" ...
(begin
(display "The number was not zero.")
(display "I’m not done yet.")
(display "Well, now I am.")))
Chapter 3 of the Guile info manual contains a useful introduction to
Scheme.
