JavaScript Conditional Statements

You can use JavaScript conditional statements to check a condition and run different blocks of code accordingly. What are the conditional statements in JavaScript? JavaScript conditional statements allow you to compute the value of an expression and then execute blocks of code depending on the result.

The JavaScript conditional operator, also known as the ternary operator, provides a simple way to write conditional statements. JavaScript conditional operator allows you to assign a value to a variable based on a condition, compacting your code.

JavaScript conditional chaining allows you to combine multiple conditions using logical operators (such as && and ||) to create complex decision-making structures. It enables you to run specific code blocks based on various combinations of conditions.

JavaScript Conditional Example

// JavaScript conditional example
var age = 25;
// How do we write an if statement in JavaScript?
// if followed by a condition within parentheses, followed by if block and else block
if (age >= 18) {
  document.write("You are eligible to vote!"); // Output message if the condition is true
} else {
  document.write("You are not eligible to vote."); // Output message if the condition is false
}

JavaScript Conditional Operator Example

// JavaScript conditional operator example
var isRaining = true;
var weatherMessage = isRaining ? "Remember to take an umbrella." : "Enjoy hands-free!";
document.write(weatherMessage); // Output the corresponding message based on the condition
