I think you mis-understood my intent. My point was that it can "also"
be correctly written that way. I did not say his orignal sentence was
incorrect, I was pointing out that a "then" can be added to the sentence
without causing any ill effects to its meaning.
My orignal point was that an if statement that reads:
if sue.is_hungry() then
sue.eats(apple)
end
is a bit clearer (at least in my mind) than:
if (sue.is_hungry())
sue.eats(apple);
Looking at this also brings up another point about the "if .. then ..
[else ..] end" syntax. If you remove "then" wouldn't you need to have
parrens (or someother delemeter) to clarify the actual test from the
actual command?
*wonders how many times he's miscounted the number of parrens of an
if statement in C*
