JavaScript = uses ==

That's right, when comparing two values in JavaScript IF condition, use == instead of a single =. This is because a single = is reserved for assigning values. The double == is reserved for comparing values.

var myVariable = 5;

if (myVariable == 5) {

  print("You got it");
}

That's the only difference for comparisons. Using > greater than, < less than, >= greater than equal to, <= less than equal to, etc.. are all the same.

[head2]Not Equals[/head] Not equals puts an ! exclamation mark in front of the = equal sign in the comparison.  This means that the value is not equal to another value.

var myVariable = 5;

if (myVariable != 10) {

  print("The value does not equal 10");
}

JavaScript Uses Brackets

In EZ-Script, an IF condition ends with an ENDIF. JavaScript operates the same way but uses { brackets } instead. This is called the scope, when code is between the brackets. In EZ-Script, the scope is between the IF and ENDIF statements. In JavaScript, the scope is between the { opening bracket and } closing bracket.

EZ-Script

$myVariable = 5

if ($myVariable == 5)
  print("You got it")
endif

JavaScript

var myVariable = 5;

if (myVariable == 5) {

  print("You got it");
}

IF ELSEIF ELSE

This is pretty much the same as EZ-Script, by having ELSE IF and ELSE commands.

var myVariable = 5;

if (myVariable == 5) {

  print("You got it");

} else {

  print("Nope, missed");

}

or similar example using ELSE IF

var myVariable = 5;

if (myVariable == 5) {

  print("You got it");

} else if (myVariable = 6) {

  print("So close");

} else {

  print("Nope, missed");

}

Single Command Doesn't Require Brackets

Occasionally you may see an IF condition with no brackets. That is because you may only have one command after the IF, therefore you do not require brackets. This is similar to the basic programming language, where a single IF that doesn't have ENDIF means only use the next command.

EZ-Script

$myVariable = 5

if ($myVariable = 5)
  print("You got it")
endif

JavaScript

var myVariable = 5;

if (myVariable == 5)
  print("You got it");
