+<p><strong>If</strong> the value of <strong>'a' is less than or equal to 'b'</strong>, the entire clause will return the value of <em>b-a</em>.  Otherwise, the clause will return the value of <em>a-b</em>.
+This can be used to control the behavior of a function under variable situations. You can control the flow and structure of programs to make them more interesting and outputs will finally depend on inputs.

+<p><strong>match ... with ...</strong> statements are designed to efficiently route program flow/functionality to one of many paths.  These are typically used for handling more complex cases than <em>if ... then ... else ...</em> statements. The parameter being matched with can be compared by type, value, etc. and is matched with each case you set up from the top to bottom. If all of the cases fail ie. the parameter doesn't meet any of the match cases then the default value is returned from the function.</p>
