JavaScript Conditions
Conditional Statements
In JavaScript we have the following conditional statements:
- Use
if
to specify a block of code to be executed, if a specified condition is true - Use
else
to specify a block of code to be executed, if the same condition is false - Use
else if
to specify a new condition to test, if the first condition is false - Use
switch
to specify many alternative blocks of code to be executed
The if Statement
Use the if
statement to specify a block of JavaScript code to be executed if a condition is true.
Syntax
if (condition) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is true
}
// block of code to be executed if the condition is true
}
Note: that if
is in lowercase letters. Uppercase letters (If or IF) will generate a JavaScript error.
The else Statement
Use the else
statement to specify a block of code to be executed if the condition is false.
if (condition) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is false
}
// block of code to be executed if the condition is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is false
}
The else if Statement
Use the else if
statement to specify a new condition if the first condition is false.
Syntax
if (condition1) {
// block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
}
// block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
}
Example
if (time < 10) {
greeting = "Good morning";
} else if (time < 20) {
greeting = "Good day";
} else {
greeting = "Good evening";
}
