3.3 If Else Statements

Purpose of Else Statements

Else statements: Handles what happens when the if condition is false. Structure of If-Else:

• If statement with a condition.
• Else statement without a condition.
  • Both parts have code blocks surrounded by {}.

don’t forget the brackets

// int x = 20;
// if (x > 10) {

//     console.log("x is greater than 10");
//     console.log("This code when the condition is true");
//     } else {
    
//     console.log("x is 10 or less");
//     console.log("This code runs when the condition is false");
// }
// //    Without brackets:
        
// //    console.log("x is greater than 10");
// //    console.log("this code will always run");

1. Based on this code, if you were younger than 16 what would it print out?
2. Write your own if else statement

int myAge = 15; 
System.out.println("Current age: " + myAge);

if (myAge >= 18) {
    System.out.println("You can learn to drive a car.");
} else {
    System.out.println("You can start preparing for your driver's test.");
}

Current age: 15
You can start preparing for your driver's test.
