Conditionals: if, else, switch

Use if/else for most branches. switch is fine for many discrete cases. Ternary ? : is for short expressions.

• Braces {} keep blocks clear.
• switch needs break (or return) to avoid fall-through.
• Prefer early returns over deep nesting.

const score = 85;
if (score >= 80) {
  console.log("pass");
} else {
  console.log("retry");
}
