associated

| Example: |
The following example shows how several
if/else
statements can be chained together.
In some cases, incidentally, a
switch
statement may be appropriate as an alternative.
import yoix.util.Calendar.*;
Calendar c;
stdout.nextbuf = "Today is ";
if(c.dayofweek == SUNDAY)
stdout.nextline = "Sunday";
else if(c.dayofweek == MONDAY)
stdout.nextline = "Monday";
else if(c.dayofweek == TUESDAY)
stdout.nextline = "Tuesday";
else if(c.dayofweek == WEDNESDAY)
stdout.nextline = "Wednesday";
else if(c.dayofweek == THURSDAY)
stdout.nextline = "Thursday";
else if(c.dayofweek == FRIDAY)
stdout.nextline = "Friday";
else if(c.dayofweek == SATURDAY)
stdout.nextline = "Saturday";
else
stdout.nextline = "indeterminate!";
The text on standard output might look like:
Today is Sunday
