Welcome! In this lesson, we're exploring special instructions in the JavaScript language: Conditional Statements, along with the break and continue statements. As we've learned, loops allow us to execute a block of code numerous times. By combining these loops with conditional statements and incorporating the useful break and continue instructions, we achieve more robust and efficient code. Let's dive in!

In JavaScript, the if statement triggers actions in our code based on a specific condition. Consider this straightforward example, where the if statement determines which message to print based on the value of temperature:

We can evaluate multiple conditions using else if. This phrase means, "If the previous condition isn't true, then check this one":
