Introducing Else statements
Problem explanation:
· Combine the if statements into a single if/else statement.
Hint 1
When the first if statement returns false the next piece of code is executed/evaluated (like return, if or else statements).

Hint 2
Sometimes if (condition) statements can be replaced by else {code to execute instead} statements (in essence you are telling your function to do "y" if it can't do "x" instead of specifying "x" several times) .

Spoiler alert!
Solution ahead!
Basic code solution:
function testElse(val) {
var result = "";
// Only change code below this line
if (val > 5) {
result = "Bigger than 5";
}
else {
result = "5 or smaller";
}
// Only change code above this line
return result;
}
// Change this value to test
testElse(4);
Code explanation
The function first evaluates if the condition val > 5 evaluates to true. If it doesn't, it executes the next statement (else { return "5 or smaller";}).
