 is one example of \lstinline!if!-expression. First \lstinline!expression1!, which must be \lstinline!Boolean! expression, is evaluated.
 If \lstinline!expression1! is true \lstinline!expression2! is evaluated and is the value of the \lstinline!if!-expression, else \lstinline!expression3! is evaluated and is the value of the \lstinline!if!-expression.
 The two expressions, \lstinline!expression2! and \lstinline!expression3!, must be type compatible expressions (\cref{type-compatible-expressions}) giving the type of the \lstinline!if!-expression.
-\lstinline!if!-expressions with \lstinline!elseif!\index{elseif@\robustinline{elseif}!if-expression} are defined by replacing \lstinline!elseif! by \lstinline!else if!.
