Hi. I've tried to some up javascript cheatsheet in one article. Hope you like it.

JavaScript Basics

Set of JavaScript basic syntax to add, execute and write basic programming paradigms in Javascript

} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is false
}

Else-if Statement

A basic if-else ladder

if (condition1) {
// block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
}

Iterative statement facilitates programmer to execute any block of code lines repeatedly and can be controlled as per conditions added by the programmer.

// run this code in block

} while (condition);
