An if statement is used to make decisions in code based on a condition. Here's the basic syntax for an if statement in JavaScript:
index.tsx68 chars4 lines
The condition in the parentheses is evaluated to either true or false. If it's true, the code inside the curly braces is executed; if it's false, the code is skipped.
Here's an example of an if statement in action:
index.tsx67 chars6 lines
In this example, the condition x > 5 evaluates to true since the value of x is 10. The code inside the if statement's curly braces (console.log("x is greater than 5")) is executed and the message "x is greater than 5" is printed to the console.
