How can you write multiple statements in elisp 'if' statement?

Question

In elisp, there is an \'if\' case where I would like to perform many different things:

(if condition
    (do-something)
    (do-something-else)
    ...)
<         


        

Answer 1

If there's no else required, it might be more readable to use:

(when condition
    (do-something)
    (do-something-else))

And, there's the converse

(unless (not condition)
    (do-something)
    (do-something-else))

Check out the Emacs Lisp manual for conditionals.

Answer 2

Use progn:

(if condition
    (progn
        (do-something)
        (do-something-else)))
