i am sure the answer is obvious, but at the moment i am not seeing it.  how do add the "otherwise" statement or function?  i have read that you have to click on the function button and not just type the word.  but i do not seem to be able to find the required button.

Hi,

"otherwise" is used in PTC Mathcad 15 and below.

"else" etc is used in PTC Prime.  "else" is found on ribbon at Math | Operators and Symbols | If Programming.

 

Cheers

In Prime they have implemented a very convenient feature: You may type "else" or any other programming statement and if you follow it by pressing Ctrl-J, the text is converted to the appropriate programming statement.

I don't like Prime but this feature is highly appreciated!
