In this intermediate-level project you will examine the need to make decisions in programming. Using the Notepad++ editor and JavaScript embedded in HTML, you will write the JavaScript code to test a condition and then take an action based on the test result. While the If-Else/Else-If logic in this project could apply to a number of programming languages, the syntax you’ll use is specific to JavaScript. Decision programming is a necessary addition to the tool set for any programmer or application developer.
