3.3 If Else Statements

Purpose of Else Statements

Else statements: Handles what happens when the if condition is false. Structure of If-Else:

• If statement with a condition.
• Else statement without a condition.
• Both parts have code blocks surrounded by {}.

don’t forget the brackets

int x = 20;
if (x > 10) {

    console.log("x is greater than 10");
    console.log("This code when the condition is true");
    } else {
    
    console.log("x is 10 or less");
    console.log("This code runs when the condition is false");
}
//    Without brackets:
        
   console.log("x is greater than 10");
   console.log("this code will always run");

1. Based on this code, if you were younger than 16 what would it print out?
2. Write your own if else statement

answer

1. Based on this code, if I was younger than 16, the output should be the second one: “You are not old enough for a license yet.”
2. ↓↓↓

public static void main(String[] args) {
    double myHeight = 5.7;
    System.out.println("Current height: " + myHeight);
    
    if (myHeight >= 5.7) {
        System.out.println("You can ride this dangerous ride in DNHS.");
    } else {
        System.out.println("You are not tall enough to ride this dangerous ride in DNHS.");
    }
}

main(null);

Current height: 5.7
You can ride this dangerous ride in DNHS.
