Condition If

The easiest condition is an if statement and its syntax is if(condition){ do this … }. The condition has to be true for the code inside the curly braces to be executed. You can for example test a string and set the value of another string dependent on its value:

var country = 'France';
var weather;
var food;
var currency;

if(country === 'England') {
    weather = 'horrible';
    food = 'filling';
    currency = 'pound sterling';
}

if(country === 'France') {
    weather = 'nice';
    food = 'stunning, but hardly ever vegetarian';
    currency = 'funny, small and colourful';
}

if(country === 'Germany') {
    weather = 'average';
    food = 'wurst thing ever';
    currency = 'funny, small and colourful';
}

var message = 'this is ' + country + ', the weather is ' + 
            weather + ', the food is ' + food + ' and the ' + 
            'currency is ' + currency;

Node: Conditions can also be nested.

Fill up the value of name to validate the condition.

var name = 

if (name == "John") {
    
}
var name = "John";

if (name == "John") {
    
}
assert(name == "John");
