JavaScript Conditions

5 lessonsAbout 30 minutesBeginner

This part of the JavaScript Tutorial runs from JavaScript if Statement through to JavaScript Ternary Operator. There are 5 lessons here, and working through them takes about 30 minutes at a steady pace.

It follows on from JavaScript Statement & Expression, so finish that first if you have not already — the examples below assume you are comfortable with it.

Each lesson below says what it covers before you open it. Read them in order the first time; afterwards this page works as a index you can jump back into when you need to check one thing.

  1. 1JavaScript if StatementThe JavaScript if statement is used to run a block of code only when a condition is true.
  2. 2JavaScript if else StatementThe JavaScript if else statement is used when you want to run one block of code if a condition is true, and another block of code if the condition is false.
  3. 3JavaScript else if StatementThe JavaScript else if statement is used when you need to check multiple conditions.
  4. 4JavaScript switch StatementThe JavaScript switch statement is used to perform different actions based on different values.
  5. 5JavaScript Ternary OperatorThe ternary operator is a short way to choose between two values.
