no, it was just to be different. It can be anything. It can be <br><br>&quot;wassup&quot; or something ;)<br><br>Not sure if that explanation has any real meaning, I mean it makes a point, but &quot;when&quot; actually implies to me that it is slightly temporal (ie &quot;when&quot; means it will happen, at some point in time, where as &quot;if&quot; means it may or may not happen - neither of which are procedural/imperative). 
<br><br>I think its ok to say IF, as people still say &quot;if/then&quot; for production rules, its not really confusing - perhaps we need another way to explain imperative versus declarative. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

I noticed that &#39;if&#39; is used in the guided editor instead of &#39;when&#39;,
whats the reason for this? As currently I explain the use of &#39;when&#39;
because it indicates its not procedular, where as &#39;if&#39; is considered
part of a procedural logic flow. Will this confuse that explanation?<br>
