if condition in JavaScript | Basics

  • by

The JavaScript if condition statement executes a code block if a specified condition is true. If the condition is false, then a block of code will not be executed.

if (expression) {
   //Statement(s) to be executed if expression is true
}

Use if to specify a block of code to be executed, if a specified condition is true. Use else to specify a block of code to be executed, if the same condition is false.

if (condition) {
  //  Executed if the condition is true
} else {
  //  Eexecuted if the condition is false
}
