## Conditional Expressions
|
||||
|
||||
All conditional logic is a single ternary expression that always returns a value. Its branches are blocks, and the expression's result is the value returned by the executed block.
|
||||
|
||||
- If a condition is false and there is no `else` (\`:\`) branch, the expression evaluates to `-0` (null).
|
||||
- If an executed block's last statement produces no value (e.g., an assignment or a call to \`_\`), the block returns `-0`.
|
||||
All conditional logic is handled by a single ternary expression structure, which always returns a value.

## Method Chaining
|
||||
|
||||
A Block's return behavior is designed for fluency. By default, it returns the value of its last expression. An explicit return can be forced with `^`.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable method chaining, a special rule applies **when a Block is called as a method** (e.g., `object.method()`): if its last expression does not yield a value (like an assignment), the Block implicitly returns its context (`@`). In all other execution contexts (e.g., as a conditional branch), it returns `-0`.
|
||||
A Block's return behavior is designed for fluency. It implicitly returns the value of its last expression. If the last expression does not yield a value (such as an assignment), the Block returns its context (\`@\`) by default, enabling method chaining. The \`^\` symbol is used for an explicit or early return from any point in the Block.
