If statements in JavaScript

Introduction Link to heading

if statements in JavaScript allow you to execute a block of code only if a specific condition is met. They are a fundamental tool to control the flow of your code.

if (true) {
  console.log("Hello");
} else {
  console.log("I am false"); // If the condition is false, this is executed
}

const age = 18;

if (age === 18) {
  console.log("You can vote, it will be your first time voting");

} else {
  console.log("You cannot vote yet");

Ternary operator: Link to heading

• It is a shorthand way of writing a simple if statement.
• The syntax is condition? value if true : value if false.

Example Link to heading

const number = 1;

const result = number === 1 ? "I am one" : "I am not one";

console.log(result); // Prints "I am one"

##If inline:

• You can use an inline if to execute a single line of code if a condition is met.
• The syntax is condition && code.

Example: Link to heading

const isAdult = age >= 18;

console.log("The user is an adult: " + isAdult); // Prints "The user is an adult: true"
