Welcome to the Control Flow module—an essential part of your JavaScript learning journey!
Programs don’t just run line by line—they make decisions, follow conditions, and take different paths based on logic. That’s where control flow comes in. In this module, you’ll learn how to make your JavaScript code think, decide, and respond—just like you would in real-life situations.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this module, you’ll be able to:
- Understand how JavaScript controls the order in which code is executed
- Use
if
,else if
, andelse
statements to write decision-making logic - Leverage the
switch
statement to handle multiple cases cleanly - Recognize truthy and falsy values and how they affect condition outcomes
- Build practical, real-world conditional logic in your programs
What’s Inside
- Lesson 1: Introduction to Control Flow
Understand how JavaScript processes code and what control flow really means. - Lesson 2: if, else if, and else Statements
Learn the syntax and structure for writing basic decisions in your code. - Lesson 3: Truthy and Falsy Values
Discover how JavaScript evaluates different values in conditional statements. - Lesson 4: The switch Statement
Learn to simplify your logic when checking one value against many possibilities.
Why This Matters
Conditional logic is everywhere:
👉 Checking if a user is logged in
👉 Displaying the right message based on a score
👉 Reacting to user input or settings
These are real scenarios that every developer needs to handle—and this module will give you the tools to do just that with confidence.
