2.1.15  The conditional operator for classes This subsection introduces the conditional operator for classes, denoted by if(𝜑, 𝐴, 𝐵) (see df-if 4474). It is the analogue for classes of the conditional operator for propositions, denoted by if-(𝜑, 𝜓, 𝜒) (see df-ifp 1063).
Syntax	cif 4473	Extend class notation to include the conditional operator for classes.
class if(𝜑, 𝐴, 𝐵)
Definition	df-if 4474*	Definition of the conditional operator for classes. The expression if(𝜑, 𝐴, 𝐵) is read "if 𝜑 then 𝐴 else 𝐵". See iftrue 4479 and iffalse 4482 for its values. In the 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". An important use for us is in conjunction with the weak deduction theorem, which is described in the next section, beginning at dedth 4532. (Contributed by NM, 15-May-1999.)

Theorem	ifnefalse 4485	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 4482 directly in this case. It happens, e.g., in oevn0 8425. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 15-May-2015.)
