In this intermediate-level project you will examine the need to make decisions in programming using the Switch feature in JavaScript. 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. As you develop your JavaScript toolset, you’ll find the Switch to be a useful alternative to the If-Else statement. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

Learn step-by-step

In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:

  1. Explore examples of business problems where decision programming is required to produce the correct solution.

  2. Review the JavaScript Switch statement to investigate the logic and syntax requirements.

  3. Write a JavaScript Switch statement to test a condition and provide an action for each test result.

  4. Investigate the Switch statement more closely to identify ways to make the code run more efficiently.

  5. Examine a problem solution using an IF-Else statement and compare it to the Switch statement that solves the same problem.
