Boolean if CodeBlock pattern is confusing #39

Open rrezel opened 8 years ago

rrezel commented 8 years ago

Wouldn't it be better to call this operation then? So <boolean> then <codeblock> and <boolean> then <codeblock>, else <codeblock>

if what?

<boolean> ifTrue: <codeblock> ifFalse: <codeblock>

<boolean> ifTrue: <codeblock> 

<boolean> ifFalse: <codeblock>
