    USING BRACES
    You must use braces { } for more than 1 line of code:
    if(user_name=="dave"){
    alert("Greatname!")
    awesome_name=true
    }

    Braces are optional if there is only one line of code

    7/17

    IF ... ELSE
    else goes at the end of the if
    It handles any situation not
    already handled at that point

    You can do this as many times as you like

    SWITCH
    Used for a series of comparisons:
    switch(variable_name){
    case"option_1":do_something_1()
    break
    ...:...
    case"option_n":do_something_n()
    break
    default:do_something_default()
    }
