Way to go! Here are some of the major concepts for conditionals:
- An
if
statement checks a condition and will execute a task if that condition evaluates totrue
. if...else
statements make binary decisions and execute different code blocks based on a provided condition.- We can add more conditions using
else if
statements. - Comparison operators, including
<
,>
,<=
,>=
,===
, and!==
can compare two values. - The logical and operator,
&&
, or “and”, checks if both provided expressions are truthy. - The logical operator
||
, or “or”, checks if either provided expression is truthy. - The bang operator,
!
, switches the truthiness and falsiness of a value. - The ternary operator is shorthand to simplify concise
if...else
statements. - A
switch
statement can be used to simplify the process of writing multipleelse if
statements. Thebreak
keyword stops the remainingcase
s from being checked and executed in aswitch
statement.
