[erlang-questions] How to make a short circuit in erlang ?

[饕餮]

When in other language.We can use like:
example(Something){
    if( Something == false)
        return;
    //do something here;
}
But in Erlang.I have to write like:
example(Something) ->
    if
        Something == false ->
            false;
        true ->
            %do something here
    end.




That's could make the multiple nested like:
example(Something) ->
    if
        Something == false ->
            false;
        true ->
            if
                Otherthing == false ->
                    false
                true ->
                    %do something here
    end.


Some code could make 5 or more nested in it.
Is there any idea to make short circuit to reduce of the nested?
