Control Flow and Conditionals

In JavaScript, control flow refers to the order in which statements are executed. Conditional statements allow you to control the flow of code execution based on certain conditions.

One of the most common conditional statements in JavaScript is the if statement. It allows you to specify a block of code that will only be executed if a certain condition is true.

Here's an example of an if statement:

1// Example of an if statement
2
3const age = 18;
4
5if (age >= 18) {
6  console.log('You are an adult');
7} else {
8  console.log('You are a minor');
9}

In this example, the code checks if the age variable is greater than or equal to 18. If the condition is true, it logs 'You are an adult' to the console. Otherwise, it logs 'You are a minor'.

Conditional statements are essential for making decisions in your code and controlling the flow of execution based on specific conditions. They enable you to create dynamic and interactive JavaScript applications.
