Idiom #131 Successive conditions

Execute f1 if condition c1 is true, or else f2 if condition c2 is true, or else f3 if condition c3 is true.
Don't evaluate a condition when a previous condition was true.

when {
  c1 -> f1()
  c2 -> f2()
  c3 -> f3()
}
true caseOf: {
  [c1] -> [f1].
  [c2] -> [f2].
  [c3] -> [f3]}
if c1 then
    f1;
elsif c2 then
    f2;
elsif c3 then
    f3;
end if;

assume that f, g, and h are procedure and that a and b are Boolean
