EGL provides general statements, as well as statements that are used for interacting with an external data source.

General statements

Case

The case statement never runs more than one clause:

You can test a criterion value. The following example invokes mySecondFunction:

function test()
   x Int = 3; 
 
   case (x)
      when (1)
         myFirstFunction();
      when (2, 3, 4)
         mySecondFunction();      
      otherwise
         myDefaultFunction();
   end   
end

You can test a set of logical expressions. The following example displays only "x passes":

function test()
   x Int = 3;
   y Int = 5;
   z Int = 7;
 
   case
      when (x == 3)
         SysLib.writeStdOut("x passes");
      when (y == 5)
         SysLib.writeStdOut("y passes");
      when (z == 7)
         SysLib.writeStdOut("z passes");
      otherwise
         SysLib.writeStdErr("You will not see this message.");
      end
   end 
end
