Only If

Mindful AI mode

Context

You are close to getting the ultimate power! Are you ready to command your robot using conditions? In JavaScript, conditions allow you to control what your robots do based on different situations.

Let's have some fun with it!

Concepts

Conditions in JavaScript

Conditions in JavaScript are like decision points, they allow you to execute different actions based on whether a condition is true or false.

if (condition) {
  // Code to execute if the condition is true
} else {
  // Code to execute if the condition is false
}

For example:

let batteryLevel = 75;

if (batteryLevel > 50) {
  console.log("Robot is ready to patrol!");
} else {
  console.log("Robot needs to recharge.");
}

Truthy and Falsy

In JavaScript, all the values are either truthy or falsy. Truthy values validate conditions, while falsy values do not.

Falsy Values:

• undefined and null
• Numbers: 0 and NaN
• Empty string: ''
• Boolean: false

All other values are truthy!

Logical Operators

AND Operator (&&)

The AND operator groups conditions:

// Ex: let robot = { status: 'active', battery: 75, name: 'RoboGuard' };

if (robot.status === "active" && robot.battery > 50) {
  console.log("Robot" + robot.name + "is active and has sufficient battery.");
}

//Output : Robot RoboGuard is active and has sufficient battery.

OR Operator (||)

The OR operator groups conditions:

if (robot.type === "security" || robot.type === "assistant") {
  console.log(robot.name + "is available for tasks.");
}

else if Keyword

Chain conditions using else if:

if (temperature < 8) {
  console.log("Very cold!");
} else if (temperature < 16) {
  console.log("Still too cold...");
} else if (temperature < 24) {
  console.log("Getting warmer");
} else if (temperature < 32) {
  console.log("Nice :)");
} else {
  console.log("Too hot!!!");
}

Prompt Example:

• "Give me an easy coding challenge involving conditions in JavaScript, and provide feedback on my solution."

Instructions

Task 1:

Your Robot must always seek the truth.

• Check if the value of the provided variable truth is truthy, log the string: The truth was spoken.
• Otherwise, log the string: Lies !!!! because the value of the provided variable truth is falsy.

Task 2:

Your RoboGuard's traveling company has a special promotion for robot members aged between 18 (included) and 25 (included).

NB: The variable ticket has already been declared, so do not declare it again.

1- Assign the message "You cannot benefit from our special promotion" to the variable ticket.

2- Use an if statement to check that all these conditions are true:

• user.age must be greater than or equal to 18.
• user.age must be less than or equal to 25.
• user.activeMembership must be true.

3- If all conditions are true, update the variable ticket with the message: "You can benefit from our special promotion".

Hint : use an AND Operator in your condition!

Task 3:

Your RoboGuard is selling plane tickets, each costing 9.99$. The RoboGuard must confirm that the customer robot has the means to buy this ticket.

The customer robot may have enough cash or be in possesion of a voucher.

Check if the provided variable customer can afford the ticket:

If the customer has enough cash (customer.cash property) OR If the customer has a voucher (customer.hasVoucher property is true)

If so, increment the provided variable ticketSold value by 1.

Hint : use OR Operator in your condition!
