1.2.9 Conditionals

Conditional statements are used a lot in LPC, and there is several ways of writing them. A very important concept is that 0 is considered as false and any other value as true in tests. This means that empty listings ({}), empty strings "" and empty mappings ([]) also are evaluated as true since they aren't 0. You have to use special functions to compute their size or determine content if you want test them, more about that later however.
