Conditionals, Loops, and Functions
Conditionals allow us to make decisions in code based on conditions.
They take the form of
1, if, else if, and else statements.
For instance;
let num = 10; if (num > 0) { console.log("Number is positive"); } else if (num < 0) { console.log("Number is negative"); } else { console.log("Number is zero"); }
Loops**
Loops are used for repetitive tasks.
There are three main types: for, while, and do...while loops.
For Loop**
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) { console.log(i); }
While Loop**
let i = 0; while (i < 5) { console.log(i); i++; }
Do...While Loop**
let i = 0; do { console.log(i); i++; } while (i < 5);
FUNCTIONS**
Functions are blocks of reusable code.
They have a declaration, a scope, and various properties like hoisting and nesting.
Function Declaration function greet(name) { return Hello, ${name}!; } console.log(greet("Alice"));
Function Scope let globalVar = "I am global";
function scopeExample() { let localVar = "I am local"; console.log(globalVar); console.log(localVar); }
scopeExample(); console.log(globalVar); // console.log(localVar); // This will throw an error as localVar is not accessible outside the function.
Nesting Functions function outerFunction() { function innerFunction() { console.log("Inside inner function"); } innerFunction(); } outerFunction();
Function Hoisting**
hoistedFunction(); // This works due to hoisting
function hoistedFunction() { console.log("This function was hoisted"); }
