====== If Expressions ======
10LC's ''If'' statement supports the same level of complexity (and ugliness) that you can generate using the 9010A directly.  This means that you can build very expressive, yet possibly very ugly, expressions.  Here is an example program that demonstrates several ''If'' expressions with varying levels of complexity (and ugliness).

Note that 10LC does not currently know how to optimize constant ''If'' expressions at compile time.  For example, in the first ''If'' expression below, ''44 ++ >> >>'' is a constant expression that evaluates to ''11'' and ''JoystickUp << << | 44'' is also a constant expression that evaluates to ''44''.  That means that the entire expression could be optimized to ''If 11 <= 44 Goto BreakOut;'' which would save 7 bytes of code.

<code c>
Program IfTest;
    Const JoystickUp = 0x01;
    Alias Value2=Reg2;

    Display "This is a test#";
        If 44 ++ >> >> <= JoystickUp  << << | 44 Goto BreakOut;        // If 11 <= 44
        If 0x23 <= JoystickUp | RegF Goto BreakOut;                    // If 35 <= ( 1 OR RegF )
        IF 1 == 3 Goto BreakOut; 
        IF REG0 >= 11 Goto BreakOut;
        IF REGA == REG2 Goto BreakOut;
        IF ~REG0 == REG5 >> 2 Goto BreakOut;
        IF REG1 >> 2 >= REGA ~ ~ >> ~ << Goto BreakOut;
        IF ~45 ++ << > 56 ++ << ~ Goto BreakOut;                       
        If REGA & Value2 ++  <= JoystickUp | RegF << 4 Goto BreakOut;  
    
    :BreakOut
    Display "Test Over";
</code>

Be sure not to get too crazy when creating ''If'' statements.  There is a limit to how complicated an expression can be and you might create something that will execute incorrectly or in a unexpected manner on the 9010A.
