JavaScript Statements

In JavaScript, statements are instructions that the browser executes. A program is made up of a
sequence of these statements.

Types of JavaScript Statements

1. Declaration Statements
Used to declare variables or constants.

var, let, const

let x = 10; // Declares a variable


const PI = 3.14; // Declares a constant

2. Expression Statements
Evaluate an expression and assign a value.

let sum = 5 + 10; // Sum is assigned 15

3. Conditional Statements
Used for decision-making.

if
Executes a block of code if the condition is true.

if (x > 5) {
[Link]("x is greater than 5");
}

if-else
Adds an alternative block if the condition is false.

if (x > 5) {
[Link]("x is greater than 5");
} else {
[Link]("x is 5 or less");
}

else if
Used for multiple conditions.

if (x > 10) {
[Link]("x is greater than 10");
} else if (x > 5) {
[Link]("x is greater than 5 but less than or equal to 10");
} else {
[Link]("x is 5 or less");
}

4. Looping Statements
Execute a block of code multiple times.

for loop

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {


[Link](i);
}

while loop

let i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
[Link](i);
i++;
}

do-while loop
Executes at least once.

let i = 0;
do {
[Link](i);
i++;
} while (i < 5);

5. Switch Statement
Executes one block of code out of multiple options.

let day = 2;
switch (day) {
case 1:
[Link]("Monday");
break;
case 2:
[Link]("Tuesday");
break;
default:
[Link]("Other day");
}

6. Break and Continue Statements

break: Exits the loop immediately.

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {


if (i === 3) break;
[Link](i); // Prints 0, 1, 2
}

continue: Skips the current iteration and continues with the next.

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {


if (i === 3) continue;
[Link](i); // Prints 0, 1, 2, 4
}

7. Function Statements
Define reusable blocks of code.

function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}
[Link](greet("Nargis"));

8. Try-Catch-Finally Statement
Handles errors.

try {
let result = x / 0;
} catch (error) {
[Link]("Error occurred: " + [Link]);
} finally {
[Link]("Execution completed");
}

Tips

End statements with a semicolon (;) for clarity, though it's optional.
Use proper indentation for better readability.
Always test code for logic and syntax errors.
