Examples

Example 1: Base case

Argument values:

• Default: Yes
• Branches: [(
  lessThan(
   left: miles,
   right: 15000,
  ), No)]

---

Example 2: Edge case

Description: When multiple branches output decimals of differing types, we widen the type to fit all. Argument values:

• Default: decimalThree
• Branches: [(
  equals(
   left: value,
   right: 1,
  ), decimalOne), (
  equals(
   left: value,
   right: 2,
  ), decimalTwo)]

---

Example 3: Edge case

Description: When the wider type is too large, we truncate the type and overflows become null. Argument values:

• Default: decimalThree
• Branches: [(
  equals(
   left: value,
   right: 1,
  ), decimalOne), (
  equals(
   left: value,
   right: 2,
  ), decimalTwo)]
