# --description--
|
|
|
|
If you have multiple conditions that need to be addressed, you can chain `if` statements together with `else if` statements.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
if (num > 15) {
|
|
return "Bigger than 15";
|
|
} else if (num < 5) {
|
|
return "Smaller than 5";
|
|
} else {
|
|
return "Between 5 and 15";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Convert the logic to use `else if` statements.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
You should have at least two `else` statements
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(code.match(/else/g).length > 1);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should have at least two `if` statements
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(code.match(/if/g).length > 1);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should have closing and opening curly braces for each `if else` code block.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
code.match(
|
|
/if\s*\((.+)\)\s*\{[\s\S]+\}\s*else\s+if\s*\((.+)\)\s*\{[\s\S]+\}\s*else\s*\{[\s\S]+\s*\}/
|
|
)
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`testElseIf(0)` should return the string `Smaller than 5`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(testElseIf(0) === 'Smaller than 5');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`testElseIf(5)` should return the string `Between 5 and 10`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(testElseIf(5) === 'Between 5 and 10');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`testElseIf(7)` should return the string `Between 5 and 10`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(testElseIf(7) === 'Between 5 and 10');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`testElseIf(10)` should return the string `Between 5 and 10`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(testElseIf(10) === 'Between 5 and 10');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`testElseIf(12)` should return the string `Greater than 10`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(testElseIf(12) === 'Greater than 10');
|
|
```
