Here is a LaTeX example file where I'm experimenting with the LaTeX "ifthen" package (ifthen.sty).
These are simple examples, where I'm playing with the if/then decision making capability with the LaTeX "ifthen" package. These two examples are pretty easy, but make a nice introduction to the "ifthen" package.
Without any further ado, here are my LaTeX if/then examples:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\author{Al Alexander}
\title{}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\begin{document}
%-----------------------------------------
% (1) a simple test to get started.
%-----------------------------------------
\newcommand{\printTrueOrFalse}[1]
{
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{true}}{TRUE}{}
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{false}}{FALSE}{}
}
\printTrueOrFalse{true}
%-----------------------------------------
% (2) print the day of the week
%-----------------------------------------
\newcommand{\dayOfWeek}[1]
{
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{0}}{Sunday}{}
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{1}}{Monday}{}
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{2}}{Tuesday}{}
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{3}}{Wednesday}{}
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{4}}{Thursday}{}
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{5}}{Friday}{}
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{6}}{Saturday}{}
}
\dayOfWeek{0}
\dayOfWeek{1}
\dayOfWeek{2}
\dayOfWeek{3}
\dayOfWeek{4}
\dayOfWeek{5}
\dayOfWeek{6}
\end{document}
