### Examples

#### Example #1

```javascript
bot.commands.add({
    type: "basicCommand",
    name: "example",
    code: `
$if[$isNumber[$message]==true;
Message is a number!
;
Message is not a number!]
`
})
```

#### Example #2

*This example showcases how you can use `$if` statement layering. `$if` statement layering is using `$if` statements within other `$if` statements.*

```javascript
bot.commands.add({
    type: "basicCommand",
    name: "example",
    code: `
  $if[$packageVersion==3.0.0;
    v3 😔
;
  $if[$packageVersion==4.0.0;
    Hallelujah v4
;
    v$packageVersion
  ]] 
`
})
```
