IFWerte

IFWerte is a term used in German-language technical writing to describe the values produced by a conditional construct, typically an if statement or an if-else expression. The concept focuses on the outcomes that result from evaluating a condition and selecting among alternative branches.

In programming languages, a conditional expression or statement evaluates to a value. The IFWerte are the outcomes of the true branch and the false branch in a two-branch construct, and they can expand to multiple branches in case of a switch or multi-way conditional. Some languages provide conditional expressions that return a value directly, while others use separate assignments to yield a result. The key idea is that a condition maps inputs to specific outputs.

In spreadsheet software, IFWerte refer to the results produced by the IF function and by nested IFs. For example, in a cell formula like IF(A1 > 10, 1, 0), the IFWerte are the values 1 when the condition is true and 0 when it is false. More complex formulas may yield several possible outputs depending on multiple conditions.

In data processing and analysis, IFWerte are used to create new variables, encode categories, or transform data based on thresholds or criteria. They are central to feature engineering and rule-based transformations, where a set of conditions determines the assigned values.

Overall, IFWerte describe the visible outcomes of conditional logic across programming, spreadsheets, and data workflows.
