2.1.15  Conditional operator
Syntax	cif 3620	Extend class notation to include the conditional operator. See df-if 3621 for a description. (In older databases this was denoted "ded".)
class if ( ph , A , B )
Definition	df-if 3621*	Define the conditional operator. Read if ( ph , A , B ) as "if ph then A else B". See iftrue 3627 and iffalse 3630 for its values. In mathematical literature, this operator is rarely defined formally but is implicit in informal definitions such as "let f(x)=0 if x=0 and 1/x otherwise." In the absence of excluded middle, this will tend to be useful where ph is decidable (in the sense of df-dc 843). (Contributed by NM, 15-May-1999.)

|- ( ph -> -. ch )   =>    |- ( ph -> if ( ch , A , B ) = B )
Theorem	ifnefalse 3633	When values are unequal, but an "if" condition checks if they are equal, then the "false" branch results. This is a simple utility to provide a slight shortening and simplification of proofs versus applying iffalse 3630 directly in this case. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 15-May-2015.)

|- { x | x C_ A } = { y | y C_ A }
Definition	df-pw 3671*	Define power class. Definition 5.10 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 17, but we also let it apply to proper classes, i.e. those that are not members of _V. When applied to a set, this produces its power set. A power set of S is the set of all subsets of S, including the empty set and S itself. For example, if A is { 3 , 5 , 7 }, then ~P A is { (/) , { 3 } , { 5 } , { 7 } , { 3 , 5 } , { 3 , 7 } , { 5 , 7 } , { 3 , 5 , 7 } }. We will later introduce the Axiom of Power Sets. Still later we will prove that the size of the power set of a finite set is 2 raised to the power of the size of the set. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)

Definition	df-sn 3695*	Define the singleton of a class. Definition 7.1 of [Quine] p. 48.

Since the behavior of Kuratowski definition is not very useful for proper classes, we define it to be empty in this case (see opprc1 3905 and opprc2 3906). For Kuratowski's actual definition when the arguments are sets, see dfop 3882. Definition 9.1 of [Quine] p. 58 defines an ordered pair unconditionally as <. A , B >. = { { A } , { A , B } }, which has different behavior from our df-op 3698 when the arguments are proper classes. Ordinarily this difference is not important, since neither definition is meaningful in that case. Our df-op 3698 was chosen because it often makes proofs shorter by eliminating unnecessary sethood hypotheses. There are other ways to define ordered pairs. The basic requirement is that two ordered pairs are equal iff their respective members are equal. In 1914 Norbert Wiener gave the first successful definition <. A , B >.2 = { { { A } , (/) } , { { B } } }. This was simplified by Kazimierz Kuratowski in 1921 to our present definition. An even simpler definition is <. A , B >.3 = { A , { A , B } }, but it requires the Axiom of Regularity for its justification and is not commonly used. Finally, an ordered pair of real numbers can be represented by a complex number.
