JavaScript '&&' '||' operators exercise.

First, your code marked

var user=prompt("You're at a baseball game. You catch a rookies first major league home run. Do you give it back?").toUpperCase();

switch(user){
    case 'Throw it back!':
        console.log('You must not be a fan!');
        break;

    case 'You keep it in exchange for money!':
        console.log("Wow! Leverage at its best!");
        break;

    case 'You give it back in exchange for an autograph':
        console.log('You are a true fan!');
        break;

    default:
    console.log('Do you even know who he is?');
    }

Okay.

Try to follow this logic.

if \ if else \ while conditions take a boolean as a paramater (inside here).

boolean is either true; or false;

when it's (true), the code block { here } will run. else the code block after the word else {here} will run.

while(boolean) will run {this code} as long as the boolean is true.

The operators combine that boolean logic into one. for example

the AND operator && requires all of the boolean values to be true

(1+2==3) true; (1+2==3 && 1+1==2) true ; only because both booleans are true, but (1+2==3 && 1+1==3) false; because only the first boolean is true

the OR operator ||

(1+2==3) true; (1+2==3 && 1+1==2) true ; because either of them is true; (1+2==3 && 1+1==3) true; because one of them is true; (1+2==4 && 1+1==3) false; because neither of them is true;

So for example;

if (true && false) {

//code won't happen 

} else if (true || false) {

//code will happen

}

Okay, I see the breaks happen after every decision so that will end that function whenever you chose one of them. so there are three options.

If user = "YES" - first case runs

else prompts user do you want to keep it to yourself?

if user = "YES" - second case runs

else third case runs

Is there anything else added to that code? Because I'm not really familiar with case switches, all I know is that each case switch breaks and returns so the only reason to use these conditions are to trigger these events, means you have to prompt at least two more times (for three options total) . Could you refer the site you're taking this lesson at please?

Maybe they want you to use the operators in order to add alternative answers and not just YES?

It's CodeAcademy, Choose Your Own Adventure exercise 5 of 6. Yes they want me to add the if/else statements using the ampersand and || operators. Maybe I should simplify my story?

Probably. The only thing that jumps to my head from my learning here at treehouse about this code is DRY;

You repeated yourself three times with :Case, console.log and break

So maybe a good use of conditionals and operators would be to take that input, check it with if\else statements and then choose the relevant case \ log the relevant text and break(which is excatly the same)

What do you think? :3
