There is:
'0><' {~ * i:5
<<<<<0>>>>>
and the verb: ([ {~ *@]) could be called selectnounfrom01_1
When selecting among expressions you should look at @. for if. do. u else. v ,
and ^:boolean for if. do.u else y
I can think of syntactic sugar for if else as you put it to verbs/expressions,
but does it have to be parsed left to right to be readable?

Subject: [Jprogramming] 'if' and 'else' operators
('O' if (=0:) else ('<' if (<0:) else '>'))"0 i:5
<<<<<O>>>>>
There are nicer ways to make this output,
but how would you code 'if' and 'else' above?
Or... 'if'/'then'/'else' below, if you prefer?
a =: assert
a 4 1 0 2 4 -: if (<0:) then (*: else +:) i:2
a 4 1 0 2 4 -: (if (<0:) then (*: else +:)) i:2
a (if ] then (| else -.)) 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0
a if ] then (| else -.) 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0

Thoughts? :)
