JavaScript code is executed in a linear fashion from the first line to the last line. If for some reason you want to interrupt this flow and execute certain statements, only, if certain condition is met, then we use conditional statements.



JavaScript has the following conditional statements
if
if else
if else if else
switch
ternary operator - shortcut for an if...else statement

If example
var userInput = Number(prompt("Please enter a number", ""));

if (userInput == 1)

{

    alert("You number is One");

}

if (userInput == 2)

{

    alert("You number is Two");

}

if (userInput == 3)

{

    alert("Your number is Three");

}

if (userInput != 1 && userInput != 2 && userInput != 3)

{

    alert("Your number is not between 1 and 3");

}

If else if example

var userInput = Number(prompt("Please enter a number", ""));

if (userInput == 1)

{

    alert("You number is One");

}

else if (userInput == 2)

{

    alert("You number is Two");

}

else if (userInput == 3)

{

    alert("Your number is Three");

}

else

{

    alert("Your number is not between 1 and 3");

}
