Using if and else in Cfscript

Every CF developer is intimately familiar with the code. I was recently re-writing something that was entirely CfScript based, apart from a large chunk of 'IFS' in the middle of the template. So I thought I'd re-write it into CfScript. Turns out its very easy!

view plain print about
1<cfscript>
2 IF (condition is met)
3 action code;
4
</cfscript>

Pretty straight forward. Looks very similar to the if-else statement.

view plain print about
1<cfscript>
2 IF (condition is met)
3 action code;
4 ELSE
5 action other code;
6
7
</cfscript>

Enclose the actionable code in {} and it will perform many 'stacked' functions.

view plain print about
1<cfscript>
2 IF (condition is met)
3 {
4 action code;
5 action more code;
6 }
7
</cfscript>

I think I actually prefer this way of writing the logic, as its much closer in syntax to Action Script.
