How to use OR condition in a JavaScript IF statement?

Answer: More than one condition statement is needed to use OR(||) operator in if conditions and notation is ||.

if(condition || condition){ 
   some stuff
}

If you have multiple conditions that you want to check against, you can use logical operators like && (AND), || (OR), and ! (NOT) to combine conditions within the if statement.

For example:

let hour = 12;
let greeting;

if (hour < 12) {
    greeting = "Good morning";
} else if (hour >= 12 && hour < 18) {
    greeting = "Good afternoon";
} else {
    greeting = "Good evening";
}

console.log(greeting);

In this case:

  • If hour is less than 12, it prints “Good morning”.
  • If hour is greater than or equal to 12 and less than 18, it prints “Good afternoon”.
  • Otherwise, it prints “Good evening”.
