Use conditional logic with If statements

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.

Spoiler alert!

Solution ahead!

Basic code solution:


// 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.
