public class Else
extends AbstractCode

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \else.

The Primitive \else

The primitive \else can appear in the context of a conditional. It terminates the preceding branch and starts the next one.

The primitive \else can not be used alone. It always comes in conjunction with a conditional. A isolated \else leads immediately to an error.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following:
    ⟨else⟩
      → \else  

Examples

    \ifnum 1<2\else no\fi  
Note:
This primitive is not expandable!

Method Detail

execute

public void execute(Flags prefix,
                    Context context,
                    TokenSource source,
                    Typesetter typesetter)
             throws InterpreterException
Executes the primitive.

This primitive can only be seen when a conditional has been opened before for which the then branch is expanded. Thus the else branch has to be skipped. Additionally the conditional stack has to be updated. If the conditional stack is already empty then an exception is raised.

Specified by:
execute in interface Code
Overrides:
execute in class AbstractCode
Throws:
InterpreterException
