Its nice if you prefer a functional if statement as this is.

My only wish is that the author had included a few lines
of commented help in the code. If this had been done,
then typing "help iif" at the command line would give you
that help. Its very useful for some day in the future when
you want to use this function and can't remember what
the arguments mean.

I think this type of submission should be discouraged.

[Michael Robbins]

Simple, but not useless I guess.

[Mike Zander]

One line functions aren't much use, especially when the required syntax is soooo easy!

[Duane Hanselman]

Help text is required for even simple functions.

[Yuri Gribov]

Useful.
