From GeoGebra Manual

- If[Condition, Object]
- Yields a copy of the object if the condition evaluates to true, and an undefined object if it evaluates to false.
- If[Condition, Object a, Object b]
- Yields a copy of object a if the condition evaluates to true, and a copy of object b if it evaluates to false.
Warning: | Both objects must be of the same type. |
Conditional Functions
The If command can be used to create conditional functions. Such conditional functions may be used as arguments in any command that takes a function argument, such as Derivative, Integral, and Intersect.
Example:
f(x) = If[x < 3, sin(x), x^2]
yields a function that equals sin(x) for x < 3 and x2 for x ≥ 3f(x) = If[x < 3 ∧ x>0, x^3]
yields a function that equals sin(x) for x between 0 and 3 and undefined for x ≥ 3 or x ≤ 0.
Note: See section: Boolean values for the symbols used in conditional statements.
