Javascript conditional

Conditionals in Javascript are not very different from Ruby, the only real different is syntax. In Ruby a simple conditional would look like:

if i == 10
  # ...
end

The same condition is javascript puts parens around the comparison, then the block is wrapped in {}.

if (i == 10) {
  // ...
}

An else statement is slightly different, the else comes after the closing } for the if then it has it's own {}

if (i == 10) {
  // ...
} else {
  // ...
}

An else if in javascript is two words seperate words, it's used in the same way as the else but has parens after the if just like the first if

if (i == 10) {
  // ...
} else if (i > 10) {
  // ...
} else {
  // ...
}
