Conditionals

if statements in JavaScript use parentheses around the condition:

if (height > 4) {
  console.log("You are tall enough!");
}

else if and else are supported as you might expect:

if (height > 6) {
  console.log("You are super tall!");
} else if (height > 4) {
  console.log("You are tall enough!");
} else {
  console.log("You are not tall enough!");
}

We'll cover some more of these, but for now, here are some common comparison operators:

=== equal to
!== not equal to
< less than
> greater than
<= less than or equal to
>= greater than or equal to

Assignment

Fix the bug on line 12. If messageLen is less than or equal to maxMessageLen, the program should log "Message sent"; otherwise, it should log "Message not sent".

let messageLen = 10;

let maxMessageLen = 20;

console.log(

"Trying to send a message of length:",

messageLen,

"and a max length of:",

maxMessageLen,

);

// don't touch above this line

if (messageLen > maxMessageLen) {

console.log("Message sent");

} else {

console.log("Message not sent");

}
