## 6.1 Syntax of the IF-THEN-ELSE Statement

The basic syntax of the IF-THEN-ELSE statement in AVAP™ is as follows:

```javascript
IF(condition, true_value, operator) 
            // Block of code if the condition is true ELSE 
            // Block of code if the condition is false END()
```

* condition : This is an expression that evaluates to either true or false.
* true_value : This is the value assigned if the condition is true.
* operator : This is the operator used to compare the condition with the true value.
