cond staticmethod

cond(
    condition: Scalar[bool],
    true_result: Scalar[NumberT],
    false_result: Scalar[NumberT],
) -> QuaLibFunctionOutput[NumberT]

Quick conditional operation. This is equivalent to a ternary operator available in some languages: i.e. a ? b : c, meaning b if a is true, or c if a is false. There is less computation overhead (less latency) when running this operation relative to the if conditional.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
condition	a QUA boolean expression to evaluate. TYPE: Scalar[bool]
true_result	the value returned when condition is true. TYPE: Scalar[NumberT]
false_result	the value returned when condition is false. TYPE: Scalar[NumberT]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
QuaLibFunctionOutput[NumberT]	A QUA expression equal to true_result if condition is true,
QuaLibFunctionOutput[NumberT]	otherwise false_result.

Example

assign(var, cond(a, b, c)) #where a is a boolean expression
