Webscript Conditionals and Control Flow

[x.MBM]

• Conditionals allow executing code based on certain conditions
• if/else statements:
  • if checks a condition and runs block if true
  • else runs if condition is false
  • Multi-way decisions with else if
• switch statements:
  • Switch on a variable/expression
  • Case labels to match values
  • Default case catches the rest
• Examples:
  if (age >= 18) { // allow vote } else { // too young }
  switch(day) { case "Monday": // code here break; default: // default case }
• Loops allow repeating code:
  • for loop - iterate over arrays, ranges
  • while loop - repeat until condition is false
  • do-while - run once before checking condition
• Loop examples:
  for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) { // repeats 5 times }
  while (count > 0) { // repeats until count = 0 }
• Break and continue keywords

The goal is to explain the main conditional and looping structures with examples so readers can control program flow based on conditions.
