Question

Lets say you are using the if syntax for Ruby that goes like this:

if foo == 3: puts "foo"
elsif foo == 5: puts "foobar"
else puts "bar"
end

Is there a way to do it so Ruby executes two things in the if statement, say, like this:

if foo == 3
    puts "foo"
    foo = 1
elsif foo = ...

How can I make it so I can put two statements in using the first syntax?

Answer 1

if foo == 3: puts "foo"; puts "baz"
elsif foo == 5: puts "foobar"
else puts "bar"
end

However, I advise against it.
