Study Notes
Managing Script Flow
- Control structures determine the execution flow of a program, they also allow conditional execution and looping.
- Control structures are essential for efficient coding and logic building, as they enable decision-making and repetitive execution.
Branching with 'If' Statements
- An
if
statement is used to evaluate a condition and execute a block of code only if that condition is true. - Syntax:
if (condition) {
// Code to execute if the condition is true
}
- Example:
if (hour < 18) {
greeting = "Good day";
}
- The if statement evaluates a condition, if the condition is true the code executes
Alternatives to 'If' Branching
- The
if...else
statement extends theif
statement, it adds an extra execution path used when the condition is false. - Syntax:
if (condition) {
// Code to execute if the condition is true
} else {
// Code to execute if the condition is false
}
- Example:
if (hour < 18) {
greeting = "Good day";
} else {
greeting = "Good evening";
}
- The
if...else
statement extends theif
statement to add an alternative execution path when the condition is false - Multiple conditional tests can be performed by using
else if
to create a chain of conditions. - Syntax:
if (condition) {
// Code to execute if the condition is true
} else if (condition) {
// Code to execute if the condition is false
}
- Example:
if (hour < 18) {
greeting = "Good day";
} else if (hour < 24) {
greeting = "Good evening";
}
- Multiple branches can be provided by making subsequent conditional if tests at the start of each else statement block.
