Julia control flow


Julia has a complete set of control flows. As an example, we could have a small function that determines the larger of two numbers:

function larger(x, y) 
    if (x>y) 
        return x
    end
    return y
end
println(larger(7,8))

There are several features that you must note:

  • The end statement for the if statement

  • end the closing of the function

  • Indentation of the statements within the function

  • Indentation of the handling of a true condition within an if statement

If we run this in Jupyter, we see the output shown in the following screenshot:
