Write “If Then Else” in a single line

Question

Is it possible to have "if .. then .. else" in a single line?

I am looking for ways to condense simple conditional statements that is taking much space in my write-up. So, any help is appreciated.

        \begin{algorithmic}[1]
            \If {$\text{foo} \leq \text{bar}$} $doh$ = 0
            \Else {} $\text{duh}$ = 1

Answer 1

A fairly elementary (but effective) way of achieving this is to use \IfThenElse{<if>}{<then>}{<else>} defined by

\algnewcommand{\IfThenElse}[3]{% \IfThenElse{<if>}{<then>}{<else>}
  \State \algorithmicif\ #1\ \algorithmicthen\ #2\ \algorithmicelse\ #3}

It just sets a \State with all the components needed right next to one another.
