Info

2 Statements tend to be executed in order from top to bottom. The sequence of execution can be altered by the conditional statements (if and switch), by the looping statements (while, for, and do), by the disruptive statements (break, return, and throw), and by function invocation. A block is a set of statements wrapped in curly braces. Unlike many other languages, blocks in JavaScript do not create a new scope, so variables should be defined at the top of the function, not in blocks. The if statement changes the flow of the program based in the value of the expression. The then block is executed if the expression is truthy; otherwise, the optional else branch is taken. Here are the falsy values: • false • null • undefined • The empty string '' • The number 0 • The number NaN All other values are truthy, including true, the string 'false', and all objects. 2
The switch statement performs a multiway branch. It compares the expression for equality with all of the specified cases. The expression can produce a number or a string. When an exact match is found, the statements of the matching case clause are executed. If there is no match, the optional default statements are executed. A case clause contains one or more case expressions. The case expressions need not be constants. The statement following a clause should be a disruptive statement to prevent fall through into the next case. The break statement can be used to exit from a switch. The while statement performs a simple loop. If the expression is falsy, then the loop will break. While the expression is truthy, the block will be executed. The for statement is a more complicated looping statement. It comes in two forms. 3 3
