## Use conditional logic with If statements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Problem explanation:
|
||
|
|
_Create an `if` statement inside the function to return `"Yes, that was true"` if the parameter `wasThatTrue` is `true` and return `"No, that was false"` otherwise._
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Hint 1
|
||
|
|
Your `if` statement will evaluate whether your `(condition)` is `true` or `false` and execute (if it evaluates to `true`) the `{statement}` declared right after it.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Hint 2
|
||
|
|
In case your `(condition)` evaluates to `false` the `{statement}` won't be executed and function will return the next `return` statement.

**Solution ahead!**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Basic code solution:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Setup
|
||
|
|
function trueOrFalse(wasThatTrue) {
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Only change code below this line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if (wasThatTrue)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
return "Yes, that was true";
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
return "No, that was false";
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Only change code above this line.
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Code explanation
|
||
|
|
The function first evaluates `if` the condition `(wasThatTrue)` evaluates to `true`. If it does, ir returns the statement between the curly braces. If it doesn't, it returns the next `return` statement outside them.
