Study Notes

If-Else Statements

General Structure

If-else statements are used to execute different blocks of code based on conditions
Consist of:
- If clause: specifies the condition to be checked
- Else clause: specifies the alternative action to be taken if the condition is not true

Basic Syntax

If statement: if (condition) { code to be executed }
If-else statement: if (condition) { code to be executed } else { alternative code to be executed }

How If-Else Statements Work

The condition is evaluated as true or false
If the condition is true, the code in the if clause is executed
If the condition is false, the code in the else clause is executed (if present)

Example

if (x > 5) { console.log("x is greater than 5"); } else { console.log("x is less than or equal to 5"); }

Nested If-Else Statements

If-else statements can be nested to check multiple conditions
Example: if (x > 5) { if (x > 10) { console.log("x is greater than 10"); } else { console.log("x is between 5 and 10"); } } else { console.log("x is less than or equal to 5"); }

Best Practices

Use if-else statements to handle different scenarios in a program
Keep the conditions and code blocks concise and clear
Use nested if-else statements when necessary, but avoid over-nesting for readability
