doesn't work.
Never mind “doesn’t work”; it doesn’t compile, because
it is plain nonsense syntactically in whatever language.
Compare your meaningless string with the following valid possibilities:
if(statement_is_true) {do_this}
do_this if statement_is_true ;
statement_is_true ? do_this : do_that ;
What you are saying is rather like expecting meaning from a
sentence like:
“Stop if it’s raining, open your umbrella.”
Nobody would know what you intend to say. No condition is
actually attached to “stop”.
To sum up,
if (the horse is dead) { stop flogging it! }
