## Conditional Expressions ## Conditional Expressions
All conditional logic is handled by a single ternary expression structure, which *always* returns a value. Hi uses a single ternary-like expression for all conditional logic. The simplest form acts like a standard \`if\` statement.

\`\`\` \`\`\`
If a condition is false and no \`else\` branch exists, or if the executed block doesn't produce a value (e.g., its last statement is an assignment), the expression evaluates to \`-0\` (null). You can provide an \`else\` branch using the colon (\`:\`) symbol. This structure is an expression that *always* returns a value.

If a condition is false and no \`else\` branch is provided, the expression evaluates to \`-0\` (null).
Expressions can be chained to create \`if / else if / else\` logic.
