12/15 [resolved] Decisions Decisions

Hi Dean,

Here is how if/else statements work:

if (this is true) {
    do this thing;
} else {
    do this other thing;
}

In the example in the exercise, the (10 < 3) is nothing special, except for the fact that it is false. that will cause your if/else statement to “do this other thing”. If you want it to “do this thing” then you will need to make sure that what is in the ( ) is true.

There are endless expressions that you could put in the ( ) that will be true. Here are a few examples:

1 === 1
1 <= 20000
1 != 42
"Dean".length === 4
true
!false

Have you been through the JavaScript Track exercise where they explain Comparison Operators yet?

That does not help

Hi Dean,

I see that you have a working Animate Your Name codebit now so I have marked your question as [resolved] - good work!
