JavaScript Basic: Three Conditional Keywords You Should Know


JavaScript conditionals is how you add logic to your programming and help you make decisions with code.

For example, when we shop online and ready to pay our items, we will enter our credit card number, if our information is correct, it will match the code, and we will receive a confirmation message. If our credit card information is wrong, the code will send us an error message.

There are three JS conditional keywords: If, Else If, and Else.

How do we use those conditional keywords in JavaScript?

If

For example, if the website wants to send an message about your age is younger than 18, you can't enter the bar.

if (age < 18) {
console.log("Sorry, you are not old enough to enter the venue.");
}

Else If


If your age is older than 18 but younger than 21, you can enter the bar but can not drink.

else if (age < 21) {
console.log("You can enter, but can not drink.");
}

Else

If your age is older than 21, feel free to drink.

else {
console.log("Come on in. Enjoy the drink.");
}

Intermediate Express.Js: Write Conditions and Loops In The EJS (study note)

We continue to use the app.js which we have build to be the study example. In the last post, we only add a simple EJS tag <%= thingVar %> inside h1 tag. This will match the "thing" to any "thing" request from the user. If Statement Today, the course shows us to write a simple if statement in the EJS file. I learn to apply it to my own app. In the if statement, if users send"/wantto/workout" request, the page will show a new content "Good Idea!". We wrote the if statement in the "diet.ejs" file, and we add "<% %>" tags around the code. We have to wrap every line of JavaScript anytime JavaScript starts and ends.
