# Branch


Menu Path : **Operator > Logic > Branch**

The **Branch** Operator evaluates a predicate and returns the value assigned to **True** if the predicate is `true` and returns the value assigned to **False** otherwise.

## Operator properties

| **Input**     | **Type**                                | **Description**                                              |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Predicate** | bool                                    | The boolean to test. If `true`, this Operator outputs the value assigned to **True**. If `false`, this Operator outputs the value assigned to **False**. |
| **True**      | [Configurable](#operator-configuration) | The value to output if **Predicate** is `true`.              |
| **False**     | [Configurable](#operator-configuration) | The value to output if **Predicate** is `false`.             |

| **Output** | **Type**                                | **Description**                                              |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Output** | [Configurable](#operator-configuration) | The output value based on the **Predicate**. If **Predicate** is `true`, this is the value assigned to **True**. If **Predicate** is `false`, this is the value assigned to **False**. |

| **Property** | **Description**                                              |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Type**     | The value type for the **True** and **False** ports as well as the output value. For the list of types this property supports, see [Available types](#available-types). |
