Ever wanted your JavaScript code to make decisions? That's where `if`, `then` (implied!), and `else` statements come in! Think of it like this: IF something is true, THEN do this; ELSE, do that.
Here's the basic structure:
`if (condition) { // code to execute if condition is true } else { // code to execute if condition is false }`
The `condition` is any expression that evaluates to either `true` or `false`. For example: `if (age >= 18) { console.log("You can vote!"); } else { console.log("You're too young to vote."); }`
You can also chain conditions using `else if` for more complex scenarios. `else if` allows you to check multiple conditions in sequence. Mastering `if/else` is crucial for creating dynamic and responsive web applications. Start experimenting and watch your code come alive!
