In this programming video we look at, How Else if Statements Work in JavaScript, Else if Statements Explained on Codecademy Programming. We continue learning about if...else statements and we learn that we are able to add an "else if" condition to our if-else statements to check additional conditions. The code runs from the top-down and the first condition that returns true will be run. We learn that if no condition returns true, then the else code block will execute. Understanding how to use else if conditions within our if-else conditional statements is critical in understanding conditional logic in JavaScript programming. Make sure to fully grasp if-else statements before mastering this lesson. Once you are comfortable with if-else statements, this lesson will begin to click a lot sooner.
